The London and Southampton Railway was first proposed in 1831 and the bill approved by Parliament in 1834 at a cost of £900,000. The section between Basingstoke and Winchester opened on 11 May 1840 – and was the final part of the London and Southampton Railway to be completed. Prior to its construction, all of the traffic between London and Southampton was carried by eight stage coaches, four wagons per week, and one barge weekly on the Basingstoke Canal!

Those we love don't go away,
they walk beside us every day.
Unseen, Unheard but always near, still loved,
still missed and always dear.
The late wife of Peter Attwood of 93 Winchester Road, builder and sportsman.
