HISTORY

Locks Heath originally established itself as a community of market gardens and farms becoming famous for supplying much of the country with strawberries in the early part of the 20th century. It is surrounded by the earlier settlements of Swanwick and Titchfield. Titchfield is mentioned in Domesday as Ticefelle and had a mill, a market and a toll. Today it remains an attractive small town with a Saxon Church and the ruin of Place House, where Charles Ist spent his last night before imprisonment.

Southampton is a thriving city and has long been a major port being the home of the Atlantic liners often to be seen in Southampton Water. Mayflower Park at the bottom of Western Esplanade has always been a popular spot to spot the Queen Mary.

The city has many beautiful parks and gardens, a flourishing theatre, excellent shops and numerous places of interest to visit. Originally the site of the Roman port of Clauesentum it was from Southampton that the Pilgrim Fathers set sail in 1620. Its deep water port ensured its place in maritime history with Henry V assembling his army here before invading France. The Maritime museum is housed in a 14th Century warehouse. Today there are several other museums in the city and many fine buildings. There are regular ferries to The Isle of Wight.

Locks Heath and its neighbour Warsash are favoured residential districts close to the coast and with frontage to the River Hamble and access to countryside. The area is just south of the main A27 Southampton Road and there is both good local shopping and public transport to the larger centres of both Fareham and Southampton. Locks Heath is about a mile south of Swanwick and Junction 9 of the M27 bounded by Warsash and Titchfield to the south west and south east.
