About Fencing in Basingstoke

Basingstoke in Hampshire is often mistaken for a purely modern new town, but its roots stretch back to the Iron Age, and it has held a regular Wednesday market since 1214, with the settlement recorded as a market site in the Domesday Book a century earlier. The cloth industry sustained the town's prosperity through the Middle Ages and into the 16th century, and Basingstoke's position on major coaching routes to London, Reading, Salisbury and Southampton later made it a busy staging post, servicing over 37 coaches a day at its coaching era peak. An ambitious canal built in 1792 to carry produce to London proved a costly failure, but the arrival of the London and South Western Railway in 1839, followed soon after by a Great Western Railway link to Reading, gave the town the transport connections that shaped its later growth.
