The market town of Petersfield lies on the edge of the beautiful
South Downs, and it has much to thank its idyllic location for.
From medieval origins it grew prosperous based on the rural economy
of sheep farming, hop growing and cottage industries. It was also
an important stage stop on the route from London to Portsmouth. But
otherwise it remained peaceful and was barely touched by the
violence and upheaval of the Civil War. Like many small towns, it
was transformed by the railway, which arrived in 1859 and brought
trade, industry and a surge in both people and buildings. Building
expansion in the Victorian era included the Corn Exchange, schools,
a courthouse, churches and a cottage hospital. Growth and change
has since continued unabated, as Petersfield adapts to the modern
world - and this magnificent collection of images captures it in
vibrant detail.
