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!

CORONATION BIG LUNCH CELEBRATION.

What an amazing day we all shared at The Big Lunch to celebrate the crowning of our new King Charles III .

The weather was unbelievable and the atmosphere once again of true community spirit. Good food, fun, games, singing, dancing, and laughter shared making it a memorable event .

A huge thank you to all who worked so hard to help make this a day to remember, and thanks to all who came and made it such an enjoyable occasion.

There is a small amount of money remaining to use for the benefit of the community, so thoughts are to buy a bench for the LRPF to commemorate the Coronation.
