About Fencing in Fareham
Fareham in Hampshire, first recorded as Ferneham in the Domesday Book of 1086 with 90 households, built much of its later prosperity on brick making, a trade especially important in the Meon Valley where kilns operated for centuries, and Fareham's distinctive red brick was used in prestigious buildings including the Royal Albert Hall. The town also became a major centre of fruit growing, with strawberries cultivated across some 2,500 acres of local land during the industry's Victorian heyday, supplying fresh fruit to markets across the region. Tanning developed alongside brick making as a significant local trade through the 19th century, giving Fareham a diverse industrial base that supported the town's steady growth.
