Historical Description
Fareham, a market town, consisting of 596 houses, and 3,325 inhabitants. The houses are tolerably well built; and during the summer season this town is much frequented for the purpose of sea-bathing, and a commodious bathing-house has been lately erected. The town is governed by a bailiff, two constables, and two ale-conners, who regulate all matters relative to weights, measures, &c. There is a good market on Wednesdays.
FAREHAM (called in Domesday Book “Fernham”) is a parish, market town, seaport, and the head of a union, at the head of a deep inlet of the sea, forming the western branch of Portsmouth Harbour, with a station on the London and South Western railway, which is also the junction of a branch to Gosport and Stokes Bay, this line being carried over the extreme end of Portsmouth Harbour by a lofty viaduct of 17 brick arches. In 1889 the station was reconstructed in connection with a new line opened in that year between Netley and Fareham, and affording an alternative route between Southampton and Portsmouth. The town is 84 miles by rail, 72 by road from London, 9 north-west from Portsmouth, 17 ¾ couth from Winchester, 18 west from Chichester and 12 south-south-east from Southampton, in the Southern division of the county, hundred and petty sessional division of its name, county court district of Portsmouth, rural deanery of Alverstoke, and archdeaconry and diocese of Winchester.
Fareham returned one member to the Parliaments of 1306—7, but afterwards the borough petitioned to be excused, on account of the expense. The “Public Health Act, 1848,” (11 & 12 Vict. c. 63) was adopted here September 18, 1849, and the government of the town was vested in a Board of Health of 9 members; but tinder the provisions of the “Local Government Act, 1894,” the Urban District Council is now the local authority.
The town consists principally of one street, about a mile in length, running east and west, the High street diverging from the main street towards the north; there are several other good streets, the Osborn road and Southampton road, which runs parallel to it, being preferred for private residences.
