  • This Southampton street was the envy of England - what happened?

    5 days ago | dailyecho.co.uk | Ian Crump

    10 1/1 London Road is far more than just a stretch of tarmac connecting the city centre to The Avenue. It is a historical artery, pulsating with stories of centuries, its character constantly reshaped by the tides of progress, conflict, and commerce. From its humble beginnings as a medieval trackway facilitating passage through agricultural lands beyond the town walls, it blossomed into a vital corridor, reflecting Southampton's growth and changing fortunes.

    40 1/1 The year is 1487 and Southampton looks completely different to nowadays. The very first recorded fair unfolded on the fields bordering the gentle flow of the River Itchen, right where it meandered past the Chapel on its journey to the sea.

It was a time of transition, marked by a blend of traditional seaside charm and the emergence of a new youth culture.   The town continued to be a popular destination for holidaymakers, offering sandy beaches, piers, and traditional seaside attractions. The Mods and Rockers subcultures were prominent, and their clashes on Bournemouth’s beaches made national news.

    20 1/1 PENSIONERS carrying banners and chanting slogans marched from Bournemouth Square to the Conservative Party conference to demand a better deal from politicians. They joined a protest on October 5, 2004, organised by the Olde English Wessex Group, calling for an end to means-tested benefits. But while a similar march at the previous year’s Labour Party conference attracted hundreds of demonstrators, this time around there were less than 100.

  • Violence erupted on the beach and streets of Bournemouth

    6 days ago | bournemouthecho.co.uk | Ian Crump

    7 1/1 More than 60 years on from the summer of discontent that gripped Britain's seaside towns, the echoes of violent clashes still reverberate. What began as a clash of subcultures on the beaches of the English coast quickly evolved into a national obsession, a symbol of societal upheaval, and a catalyst for profound cultural change.
