More about Fareham Hampshire
The market town of Fareham lies in the south east of
Hampshire, between the cities of Southampton and
Portsmouth, roughly in the centre of the South Hampshire
conurbation.
It is in the larger borough of Fareham. To the south
lies Gosport, to the east Portchester, to the north the
M27 motorway and Wickham. Westwards lie Titchfield and
the Southampton area.
The National Census, 2001 found Fareham to have lower
than average unemployment and crime with house prices
higher than average. The population of the borough was
counted as 107,977 with an average age of 40.3 years.
Fareham traditionally relied on its clay soil for
industry, producing bricks, tiles and chimney pots. This
past is commemorated through place names such as Kiln
Road. The most famous example of 'Fareham Red' bricks is
probably the Royal Albert Hall, London. The main
economic activity in Fareham is now retail, employing
15% of the local population. Fareham has also become a
popular choice for the location of business call
centres; several of the UK's major banks have offices in
Fareham and Adecco, the recruitment agency, claims
Fareham as the second best call centre location in the
UK.
Fareham is situated at the north-west tip of Portsmouth
Harbour where the River Wallington joins. Small
industries still operate, reflecting Fareham's maritime
past. HM Royal Navy operate in Fareham with the Maritime
Warfare School, HMS Collingwood, training well over
2,000 British and foreign sailors at a time.
Despite prosperity, continued economic growth, and the
proposed Light Rapid Transit system linking Fareham with
Gosport and Portsmouth, Fareham has always been
overshadowed by its bigger neighbours and is unlikely to
achieve city status.
Fareham has a history dating back to the Norman era.
Originally known by the name of Ferneham (hence the name
of the town's main entertainment venue), Fareham's
location was determined by the ford of Fareham Creek the
top of Portsmouth Harbour. The ford was also the
location of the Bishop of Winchester's mills; the
foundations of these mills were subsumed in the A27 near
the railway viaduct. Commercial activity continued at
the port until the 1970s. By the beginning of the 20th
century, Fareham had developed into a major market town.
In the 1960's Fareham experienced a huge amount of
development, as it was one of the areas highlighted for
major expansion in the South Hampshire Plan. The idea
was to create many thousands of homes to serve as a base
for the many people who were looking to move away from
the traditional urban centres of Portsmouth and
Southampton. It was during this era that the large
housing areas of Hill Park, Miller Drive, and much of
Portchester grew until eventually one could drive
through a continuous urban conurbation from Portsmouth
City Centre to Southampton. By this time Fareham had
expanded to almost encompass the surrounding villages of
Funtley, Titchfield, Catisfield and Portchester.
Fareham is now at a stage of maturity as a town. As a
place to live, it is increasingly popular, with good
schools (The Henry Cort Community College, Neville
Lovett Community School, and Cams Hill School),
plentiful housing, and more open space than can be found
in the surrounding cities.
In the late 1990s a settlement called Whiteley,
straddling the boundaries of Fareham Borough and the
City of Winchester, was developed to the north of
Junction 9 of the M27 motorway. The new town is
predominantly residential, however features the
extensive Solent Business Park and a modern shopping
centre, Whiteley Village [1]. The latter comprises a
range of outlet shops, and aims to draw customers from a
wide catchment area across South Hampshire.
An urban renewal initiative began in 2003, renovating
the town centre and historic buildings to include a new
entertainment and shopping complex. It featured a major
iron sculpture park, claimed to be the largest in
Europe, to celebrate the work of iron pioneer and
Fareham native, Henry Cort.
Fareham has in recent years has developed several
attractions to draw visitors to the town. The historic
High Street features a fine collection of Georgian
buildings and upscale restaurants and shops. The town
centre has been improved to bring it up to modern
standards, and the recent opening of the Market Quay
development has added a cinema and nightclub to the
frame.
