Further Description
  • Thanks to a generous legacy from the late Roy Knight, the Society has been able to afford to take on the lease of the former Angling Shop at 24 Shore Road for a period of two years. Many of you will remember Roy and given him many of the pictures which form the basis of the Society's archives and you may also have enjoyed the Exhibitions in the Victory Hall. Roy's wish was that we should use his legacy to set up a permanent centre to display the village's history.

    This very exciting development will enable the Society to bring its archives together under one roof and try to establish a Heritage Centre for Warsash. The Society hopes to gain support from businesses and residents in the village so that the Centre can become a permanent home for its archive material and a resource for all those interested in the history of our village. Once the Centre is up and running we shall be delighted to receive offers of help so that we can open the centre on a regular basis and share all the material we have collected.

    It is a great privilege to live in a village with such an interesting history but regrettable that so much is unknown to present residents. We hope the new Centre will go some way to rectifying this situation but we are all aware that we need support from beyond the Society if this venture is to succeed. More news in due course.

    The centre is open Tuesday to Saturday from 1030 to 1230, then 2pm to 4pm, and on Sunday 1030 to 1230 and is run by volenteers. Click on PDF file for picture of centre
