A propos de cet article

This copy is in mint, unmarked condition bound in brown cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. The unclipped dustwrapper has one small closed tear but is still near fine condition International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Fleet and Crookham have their origins within the Hundred of Crondall as the tithing of Crokeham. The tithing included Fleet, known, as it still is, for its pond. They had the poorest soil, mainly open heathland. Because of this, the population was always sparse and even the construction of the Basingstoke Canal in the 18th century had little impact. It was not until the Enclosure Act of 1834 and the building of the London and South Western Railway that the population began to grow. The development of the Royal Military Camp at Aldershot was a third factor. Ref LLL 3.

Synopsis

Fleet and Crookham have their origins within the Hundred of Crondall as the tithing of Crokeham. The tithing included Fleet, known, as it still is, for its pond. They had the poorest soil, mainly open heathland. Because of this, the population was always sparse and even the construction of the Basingstoke Canal in the 18th century had little impact. It was not until the Enclosure Act of 1834 and the building of the London and South Western Railway that the population began to grow. The development of the Royal Military Camp at Aldershot was a third factor.
