Beyond the Brickworks film
Young people spent three weeks learning about the heritage of the Bursledon Brickworks, the last steam driven brickworks in the UK. The young people were inspired to learn about the Brickworks through fun activities and making a film.
An important element of this project was to record the testimonies of the former employees. Their stories and knowledge gave a valuable insight into how the site used to work. The young people were trained in interview techniques, video and sound recording. From the education sessions and researching the archive, they developed questions to ask the former workers. They made animations and drama reconstructions based on the testimonies from the former employees. The dramas were set during the Victorian era as the machinery and production processes for the brickworks are rooted in that time period. The costumes were based on the archive photographs of how the workers dressed then. The finished film 'Beyond the Brickworks' was screened in a red carpet event at which all the participants receive a copy of the film on DVD.

Fort Nelson Narrow Gauge Railway, Hampshire 2012
A short video of stills taken on Friday 9th November 2012 showing the short narrow gauge railway at Fort Nelson in Portsmouth, Hampshire in Southern England. It is part of a German 60 cm gauge field railway which was captured by the British army at the end of the First World War. It was installed at Fort Nelson in the late 1930's when again, war seemed imminent and preparations were being made for the defence of the south coast of England. Anti Aircraft ammunition was delivered to the main gate by lorry and then trundled by hand to the entrance of the underground magazines. The Fort is open to the public and entry is currently free.

THE BRITISH POWER BOAT COMPANY - 'Wartime' by Stan - World War Two - Hythe, Southampton
It was formed on 30 September 1927 when Hubert Scott-Paine bought and renamed the Hythe Shipyard with the intention of transforming it into one of the most modern mass production boat building yards in the country. Together with his chief designer, Fred Cooper, the company produced many racing boats which won numerous awards around Europe, including Miss England II and Miss Britain III.
From 1930 the British Power Boat Company supplied seaplane tenders to the Air Ministry, commencing with RAF200, a 37-footer. The trials of this and other boats was carried out by T E Shaw on behalf of the Royal Air Force, and he and Scott-Paine worked together over the next few years. These tenders were powered by twin 100bhp Meadows petrol engines giving a maximum speed of 29knots (some of the later ones were fitted with Perkins S6M diesels).
The company marketed its own modified Napier: Sea Lion engines under the name Power Marine Engines.
On 3 August 1931 the factory burnt to the ground, but was rapidly rebuilt as the most modern and efficient boatyard in Britain. Motor Torpedo Boats with a hard chine were designed, built, and increasingly sold to the British Admiralty. Armoured target boats were also built for the RAF, proving very successful and cost-effective, together with tenders for Imperial Airways flying boats, and admiral's barges.
In 1939, due to the difficulties in obtaining British engines, Scott-Paine took PT-9 to the US to enable Elco to mass-produce PT boats using Packard motors.
During World War II the British Power Boat Company built large numbers of Motor Torpedo Boats, High Speed Motor Launches, and Motor Gun Boats (previously known as Motor Anti-Submarine Boats), being credited with saving the lives of over 13,000 service personnel.
All unfinished contracts were cancelled at the cessation of hostilities and the British Power Boat Company closed in 1946.
Brede Southen Water Bunker
Southern Water is the utility responsible for wastewater collection and treatment in Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, West Sussex, East Sussex and Kent, and for water supply and distribution in the approximately half of this area. Some areas within the Southern Water region are supplied by a number of smaller water supply companies.
It is regulated under the Water Industry Act 1991
The Water Act 1973 resulted in the formation of the Southern Water Authority (SWA), taking the responsibility away from the local authorities. Nevertheless, the SWA maintained a regional management approach, retaining three separate regional headquarters:
Otterbourne near Winchester, covering Hampshire and the Isle of Wight
Falmer near Brighton, covering East Sussex and West Sussex
Chatham, covering Kent.
The authority took over the assets and duties of the following water undertakings[1]:
Hampshire River Authority
Sussex River Authoritiy
Kent River Authority (except the area draining into the Thames above Greenhithe)
Brighton Corporation
Hastings Corporation
Southampton Corporation
Tunbridge Wells Corporation
Winchester Corporation
Worthing Corporation
Isle of Wight River and Water Authority
Medway Water Board
North West Sussex Water Board
Thanet Water Board
Eastbourne Waterworks Company
Folkestone and District Water Company
Mid Kent Water Company
Mid-Sussex Water Company
Sevenoaks and Tonbridge Water Company
In 1989 the UK's water industry was privatised, and Southern Water Services Ltd. came into existence. The company was subsequently purchased in a hostile takeover bid by Scottish Power. In 2002, Southern Water once again became independent when Scottish Power sold the company to Southern Water Capital Limited, a consortium of banks and private investors.
In October 2007, JPMorgan Chase in the consortium with Greensands Investments Limited purchased Southern Water Capital Limited, the owners of Southern Water Services Limited.
