About Alton
There is no existing charter for Alton Market. It was already in existence at the time of Domesday (c1086) and, hence, was probably functioning in Anglo-Saxon times. Despite what is written in various histories, it was probably always held in, what is now, Alton. (In the past, the true meaning of the Doomsday entries for the area were misunderstood.) It was the most valuable market listed in Doomsday - but Winchester, Southampton and London (and possibly other larger settlements) are missing. Originally, Market Day was a Saturday. In September 1813, the monthly cattle market was changed to a Tuesday and the weekly market changed to the same day in early 1840. This caused the Church School to look for other premises as classes had been held in the Town Hall until then but the noise of the market made things difficult - hence the move of the school to near St Lawrence’s.
Until the 1970s, most of Alton'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 Alton closed.
