Hedge End history
Origins
The Belgae tribe inhabited the Hedge End area prior to the Roman conquest. Roman road from Clausentum (a fortified harbour in what is now Bitterne, Southampton) passed through the area on route to Portus Adurni (Portchester Castle) and Noviomagus Reginorum (Chichester) The original hamlet of Hedge End first established itself on Botley Common.
Growing into a village
Northam road was opened in 1799, with a tollgate at Hedge End. In 1839, another new road was built to provide access to the Floating Bridge at Woolston. This new road cut through the centre of Botley Common, opening the way for further development. St. John’s School was built in 1863, admitting its first 13 children on 18 January 1864.
Wartime history
Hedge End was on the outermost edge of a huge marshalling site set up in Hampshire by the military, known as Area C. St Johns Road and Upper Northam Road are shown on a military map dated 1 May 1944 as being operational routes for flow of military vehicles around the area.
Becoming a town
Hedge End is situated near Junctions 7 and 8 of the M27 motorway. In the early 1990s the village gained Hedge End railway station, a stop on the Eastleigh to Fareham line. The parish council resolved to give the village the status of a town in 1992, and the council was renamed Hedge End Town Council.
