Warsash history
Before the 19th century Warsash was a number of separate hamlets; Warsash itself; Hook to the south at the mouth of the River Hamble; Newtown between Hook and Warsash and Chilling on Southampton Water. Hook was of earlier importance, as a ‘dockyard’ during the Hundred Years’ War. In 1807 the shipbuilder George Parsons began construction of a shipyard at Warsash at a site where the present Shore Road was later built.
Warsash Clock Tower
Warsash House Estate built a tower faced by a clock in the centre of the village to hold up to 6,000 gallons of water. In present days the tower has been removed and the clock tower is a private residence.
Warsash Pubs
Warsash has 4 pubs within 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) of each other: The Rising Sun on the shore front, The Ship and Shovel, The Jolly Farmer in Fleet End Road and The Silver Fern.
St Mary’s
The parish church, St Mary’s, dates from 1871. The old vicarage site on Osborne Road has been redeveloped and new houses erected. The approach to the church was previously an undeveloped laurel avenue.
