About Alresford
Alresford quickly became established as a prosperous market town, focussed on the wool, leather, and the other products from sheep and cattle- in the 14th Century Alresford was one of the top five Sheep market towns of England. Alresford sent two members to parliament until the population was reduced by the Black Death. The town quickly picked up the label as a dangerous place to live due to the uncommonly frequent fires which razed it to the ground- much of the medieval town was destroyed by a fire in 1689 that destroyed 117 houses in the town as well as the Church and Market House. Much of the town was rebuilt in the 18th century, with many of the Georgian buildings remaining today. The duck race organised by the Alresford Pigs every two years during the summer (it was last held July 2007) brings the community out to watch several races of ducks, each sponsored by local families and businesses. This is the most notable event organised by The Pigs, and raises a few thousand pounds for charity. The town is famed for its production of watercress, and once a year holds a festival in the middle of May. There is a street market with locally made food on sale, and usually cookery demonstrations. In the past few years Antony Worrall Thompson has been the celebrity chef. A one night street fair takes place on the 2nd or 3rd Thursday during October. This surprisingly large funfair turns up on the Wednesday evening and sets up during the day of the Thursday in Broad Street. The fair lasts one night and has to be gone by midnight.
Until the 1970s, most of Alresford's leading industries dated from the eighteenth Century; mainly these were textiles, foundry work, shipbuilding and paper-making, the oldest industry in the city, with paper having been first made there in 1694. Paper-making has reduced in importance since the closures of Donside Paper Mill in 2001 and the Davidson Mill in 2005 leaving the Stoneywood Paper Mill with a workforce of approximately 500. Textile production ended in 2004 when Richards of Alresford closed.
