The abbey mill site was bought by sainsburys , they planned to build a huge superstore which would have finished off alot of the shops in the high st .There was fierce opposition to this from the locals ( but unfortunately no riots this time) The campaign to oppose this got alot of press as it was backed by Amanda Holden ( a local lass who used to work in the greengrocers in the high st) part of the plans for the superstore was a huge underground car park and a new doctors surgery to sweeten the planning application. As some locals already knew the site is the meeting of several underground aquifers and when they tried to put the piles down they hit running sand and there is no way it could have been built. Sainsburys got in a bit of a sulk about the local opposition , purchased the petrol garage , dropped their prices to the point that the other 2 local petrol stations quickly went out of business.
I did this walk today, Rob, and that church is definitely worth a visit next time, with its box pews (unusual) and all the Lord of the Manor buried there. The road out from the village is very busy and there isn’t much of a footpath, so beware of traffic! The annual D-Day Weekend in June is well-worth attending!
Hi You might want to join the Facebook group which has much more than just the video. There are links to the OS MAPS APP, lots of photos and you can keep up to date with others observations of path conditions, whether the pubs are still open and you can even see others walks and get advice from fellow members. It's all free too 😀!
Yes half the reason I did the walk in the hope planners would at least value the rights of way and incorporate them into a green space. You never know.
My daughter lived in Romsey from 2013 for a number of years. Its a lovely place thats sadly changing rapidly, with the large out of town housing estates being thrown up, but at least you still have Bradbears. Look after it and the town centre, they are gems worth preserving. We miss you Romsey.
Sorry Rob as much as I like your vlogs I had to turn off after 5 minutes because of the wind noise you just can’t hear what you’re saying, please invest in a dead cat or a wireless mic, just a thought which I should probably have kept to myself, keep up the good work though.
I know Tony. Problem is the camera has built in mikes, no hot shoe , I'm looking at others or perhaps I should choose less windy days 😁 (stick it on silent and watch the subtitles they're usually good for a laugh 😁)
Thanks for an interesting video. I wanted to see how hilly the Common is, before signing up for a sponsored walk. Pleased to see it looks mostly on the level ☺
Great start. Cricketers Arms circa 1978...bikers pub...what a night!!! Band playing FAT Bottom Girls...and then out of nowhere right in the middle of that great rendition....an announcer shouts on onbthe microphone....PORK DRAW...PORK DRAW...PINK 565. And then the band comes back in again!!! So funny 😂😂😂😂
I filmed this shortly after the death of HM The Queen. I thought it better to remain silent and focus on the natural sounds around us. Despite her great age it was a shock for the nation to lose the only head of state most of us have ever known. I guess I felt it was more respectful.
When showing the pyramid memorial in this video, you mentioned Mad Jack Fuller and his pyramid at Brightling. He is said to be an ancestor of mine. My maternal grandmother was a Miss Fuller.
Never been in there. Used to walk by there on my way to school from Knowle to Funtley but that was in the 1950's.Great to know it's still there. I live at least 1000 miles from there now, but if you're passing by, drop in and have a couple for me please.
My grandparents used to have Ridgeway farm which is in Ridgeway Lane opposite that Slate house you were filming then they went to Normandy farm which is in Normandy Lane they retired 1969 or 8, the orange brick building you can see from the marina at the sea wall was the cow sheds (they milked by hand) which before that was where they used to refine the salt.👍
Twenty years ago before we moved to Australia we had a holiday house in Lymington which gave us a break from our busy lives in London. It was great to have this nostalgic virtual tour which brought back happy memories of those days.
The Liberals are raping eastleigh I grew up the it's such a pity what they have done to stoneham Lane and Fleming parking I remember going to the abc cinema in Southampton and going down stoneham Lane and over the hump by the church and nearly coming out my seat on the old Hampshire bus and the 48 solent blue line I loved it ! Eastleigh you need to stop the politicians killing your history! Eastleigh town centre is already dieing don't lose one of the unique points of eastleigh its history! All due to politicians greed!
