Between the train in the header picture, and the entry in Gosport’s next entry in the timeline that says “1540 Gosport described as a little village. It isn’t so much Gosport as a little village that I want to write about
Rather it is a little community hidden away in a quiet corner of the town. The village of Little Woodham. Little Woodham is a 20th century recreation of a 17th century village. We have been there before.
The village is active in the sense that it becomes populated by people playing their part. We had a good chat with a lady button maker and met a surprisingly young man who was able to tell us a lot about his life as a bodger. He was working away at his lathe, this time making a chair leg, to replace one broken earlier. One of the many little bodges.
I’d quite like to go again.
