As you might expect, the Hampshire Archives contains an absolute wealth of information about Gosport. I’ve asked for a quote on the reproduction of The Gosport & Alverstoke Minute Book for 1894 – 1897.
I think that that time frame might cover the dispute between Gosport & Alverstoke as whether it should be Gosport & Alverstoke or Alverstoke & Gosport. That resulted in at least a debate in the House of Lords, that resulted in a parliamentary decision..
The website indicates that this might cost £30, as a one off I’m happy to take that chance. Apparently, it’s a requirement of any reproduction that I can only use it for purely personal reasons, which I think includes commenting on it here. Anyhow, I’ve asked what I need to do to get permission to do that – I would expect that a personal non-profit blog should be ok for at least commenting on.
I’ll let you know how it goes.
