Fareham – 7 Quirky Facts
- Ferne-nominal!
Dating back to Saxon times, the town’s name derives from Ferne Ham, meaning village by ferns. - Royal Albert
Fareham has excelled in a number of industries during its history, as a port, iron works and brickmakers. The Royal Albert Hall was built using Fareham bricks. - Wine Merchants
During the 12th century Fareham was a busy port and one of its chief imports was wine. Cheers! - Posh
No, not Port Out Starboard Home, but posh houses. Fareham was considered a desirable place to live among Portsmouth’s naval officers and traders. Close enough to the port to be convenient, but far enough away from the noise, the dirt and the smell. - You don’t have to be mad to live here…
In the 19th century Fareham had both a workhouse and a lunatic asylum. - Dried Up
During the 1960s Fareham’s population reached 65,000. The river silted up which led to a decline in industry and jobs. - Iron Town
In 1782 local iron foundry owner Henry Cort invented new ways of processing wrought iron that completely revolutionised the iron industry. Much of the town’s heritage is built on its associations with Cort’s iron works.

About Fareham
This quiet, unassuming town has had a varied and interesting history. Finds unearthed in the local area trace local life back to the Second Ice Age. Fareham was recorded in the Doomsday Book and by the 12th century had become a bustling port with wine being one of its chief imports. The town rose to fame thanks to the work of local foundry owner William Cort, who invented new ways of producing iron that helped build the town’s wealth. Leather tanning and brickmaking both became major sources of employment and the town was thriving with a population of 65,000 by the 1960s.
Sadly, the river silted up and jobs began to the decline. However, the charm of Fareham remains, with many outdoor areas, shops and local amenities as well as quick access to Portsmouth and Southampton.
Leisure
Fareham is nestled between two large cities (Portsmouth and Southampton), so while the town doesn’t suffer from the bustle and noise of city living, it does benefit from proximity with everything in easy reach. A number one theatre (The Mayflower, Southampton), cinema complexes, bowling alleys, shopping malls, Portsmouth also boasts an outlet shopping mall, Gunwharf Quays, featuring designer brands at discounted prices.
Fareham itself has a number of clubs and societies if you want to get involved and meet people. There are also local events held throughout the year.
Transport
Located just beside the M27 motorway between Portsmouth and Southampton, Fareham is a relatively small town that benefits from its bigger neighbours. Trains to London (Victoria) take just 1 hour 30 minutes, while by car the M3 connects with the M27 close to the town, offering routes to the M25 and London. Southampton Airport is under 30 minutes away for frequent flyers and a sunseekers.
