Local History
You think you know Eastleigh, Winchester or Southampton? Are you sure?
What was life like for the inhabitants of these places hundreds of years ago? Who or what shaped the way the people and towns developed over the centuries
Join our group and find out the hidden history of the many places and famous people in our area of Hampshire. As a group we enjoy searching out the interesting facts to share with each other. This can, usually, be done via computers, local libraries, museums and visitor centres and we supplement our research with visits to specific places and by joining guided walking tours.
We have studied the long history of our many towns and villages, but there are always more interesting facts to find and famous people to learn about so for those who are new to the area we are happy to re visit the history.
We normally meet on the fourth Monday of each month from 10.00am to 12.00 noon at The Harold Price Room Fair Oak Village Hall. In the current situation this is not possible but we continue to meet as a virtual group via Zoom.
Everyone welcome, come along and find out more about your local area.
