Southampton’s Chapel Area – 100 Years of the Past revives each of its three dozen streets and tells their history with maps, photographs and the odd anecdotes of its more colourful characters

An established author of several books on railways and local history, Dave Marden now writes about the place where he was born and brought up.

It is now half a century since Southampton’s Chapel area was swept away. A square half mile of tightly packed terrace houses had evolved on barren marshland and timber ponds to house the workers needed for the docks and railways from the mid 1800s

Most of Chapel disappeared in the 1960s when the rush for regeneration saw dozens of streets erased from history and their thousands of residents dispersed to estates on the town boundaries.

Virtually nothing of the old district remains but the memories linger on for those who experienced life there in a close knit community that grew together for generations.

About the Author

An established author of several books on railways and local history, Dave Marden now writes about the place where he was born and brought up. As a native Sotonian, having been born in the city’s Chapel area and educated locally at both Ascupart Junior (now St Mary’s) and Central Secondary schools, he spent his entire career working in the Port of Southampton before retirement.

While growing up in the post war years and in the 1950s, he remembers much of his home town as it was before the major redevelopments of the 1960s when so many of the old streets and communities were cleared away in the name of progress and modernisation.

Can’t be beat for the price
Size: XX-Large, Color: Blue
Can’t beat it for the price, I was at super fancy NYE party. Lots of guys in very expensive jackets asking me where I got mine, this jacket got tons of compliments and looked great in photos. Quality was higher than I figured it would be for this price point. Go one size up, I am normally an XL, I ordered XXL and fit perfect.

Good jacket for the price
Size: Small, Color: Gold, Size: Small, Color: Gold
My son had prom and the theme was, "Your Night to Shine," so he and his girlfriend decided they needed to SHINE. And when this boy picks for a theme, he picks! He is 5'11 150 lbs, very thin, but also muscular and ordered a small. The sleeves were a bit short on him, but that's to no fault of the jacket, it's just been his life as a tall, lanky kid. Great quality, steamed the creases out easily, and stayed together the entire evening. Excellent buy!

Great for the stage. A bit iffy up close.
Size: Medium, Color: Silver-3
Jacket is decent. It’s good for the stage. It looks a bit cheap up close. Probably good for prom but for an adult wearing it to a function I can’t say I would recommend it. But it’s great for the stage! We have worn them many times and they hold up well. I’ve even washed them in the washing machine on delicate cycle without any problems. Just hang it to dry and you’re good to go. It holds it shape and doesn’t wrinkle. A good value for the money. The sequences are this color as they are shown. The sizes are true to fit.
