Congratulations to the Southampton Amateur Rowing Club, Woolston, and particularly to John Bailey who coordinated the project over 2008 & 2010 to regenerate the Itchen Ferry-( ‘The Lost Village’), in memory of the 96 local people killed by bombing in WW2. They have provided a facility for people to enjoy the view & water facility, ( NB. Its history dates back before the Middle Ages). New housing families being provided locally will have access to the River Itchen & its
shore to enjoy. A removable barrier has been installed to prevent highwater tides
flooding the Hazel Road way. The original plaque-by Johanna Metcalfe, installed in 1990 was stolen in 2008/2009. Fortunately its pattern was located & a replacement produced & is now installed.
