About Fencing in Alresford
Alresford in Hampshire, more fully known as New Alresford, grew up in the late 12th century after a great weir was built to create Old Alresford Pond, with a new settlement springing up alongside it that has now stood for more than 800 years. Fires repeatedly struck the town over the centuries, and the handsome Georgian buildings visible today largely date from rebuilding after the great fires of the 17th century, giving Alresford its distinctive colour washed appearance. The town's other defining trade only arrived with the railway in 1865, when the newly built Watercress Line allowed cress grown in Alresford's spring fed beds to reach London markets quickly enough to stay fresh, establishing the town as the country's capital of watercress farming, a heritage still celebrated with an annual Watercress Festival each May.
