Eastleigh

Eastleigh is a town in Hampshire, England, among Southampton and Winchester in South Hampshire. It was initially created as a railroad town by the London and South-Western Railway. The town lies on the River Itchen, one of England's head chalk streams for fly angling, an assigned site of Special Scientific Interest. The advanced town of Eastleigh lies on the old Roman street, worked in A.D.79 among Winchester and Bitterne. Roman stays found in the Eastleigh region, including a Roman lead pine box exhumed in 1908, show that a settlement likely existed here in Roman occasions.

A Saxon town called 'East Leah' has been recorded to have existed since 932 AD. There is extra proof of this settlement in a study from the time which points of interest arrive in North Stoneham being allowed by King Aethelstan to his military guide, Alfred in 932 AD. The prefix 'Est' or 'East' is thought to allude to its area in respect to the set up settlement of Baddesley. The Domesday Book of 1086 gives a more nitty gritty record of the settlement, or, in other words as 'Estleie'.
