Dear Neighbours, Dare I say it but we are fast approaching that festive time of year… Indeed we are looking forward to taking our Hayden to see Father Christmas at Paultons Park for his Birthday this year. As he will be 9 I reckon this is my last chance!

Imagine my surprise a few weeks ago when I got a phone call from Father Christmas - it turned out to be a lovely local man who has played the part every season for over 60 years! I am sure I had that same ‘trip of the heart’ when he said who he was. Do we ever really grow up?

As you might be thinking of opening your doors to the family… or escaping to other climes… perhaps a few things need doing around the house or garden? If you are anything like us, ‘spare’ time seems to be getting less and less. Why not let someone else do the work for you?

You will find The West Moors Directory full of local tradespeople who are more than willing to give you a hand to make this year’s special season a great success.

From self storage to create more space in the house, fitted furniture to make the most of what space you do have, builders to create more space and property maintenance to make things a little neater and tidier.

There are also plumbers and electricians to ensure all your facilities are in shape, as well as dentists, chiropractors and chiropodists to help keep your body in good order too!

We also have a number of interesting articles this month.

Morris the stag is getting frisky at the New Forest Wildlife Park! There is more local history surrounding the old railway line on page 8 and finance tips with regard to credit rates on page 42. If you are one for enjoying your cooking, there is a recipe on page 30 that sounds scrumptious!

The winner of the meal vouchers to the Tap & Railway this month was Mrs B Witty of Mannington Way. Well done to you!

Here’s to a good month of November,

Local History

www.facebook.com/WestMoorsDirectory

A trip down memory line...

The impact of the railway upon West Moors was small until the hamlet became, in 1866, the point where the line from Salisbury joined the then main line.

Before this, staff were only required at the Crossing Lodge but a junction requires additional personnel to operate the points & associated signals. Control of the 'switch' was rudimentary. An elevated platform was provided for the 'pointsman' to see the approach of the train then he had to climb down to the ground and physically switch the blades of each point as required. In time, this developed into the familiar signal box operation once common on our railways.

The staff in charge of these operations had to be trustworthy and intelligent. In rural areas, young men, who would otherwise have had to work on the land, sought employment in this role; two such were Thomas Larcombe & John Woolford; together they served the local railway through six decades.

Thomas was born near Crewkerne, Somerset. In his early twenties, he came to West Moors as a railway gatekeeper, becoming one of the 'pointsmen' at the

The graves of John Woolford and Thomas Larcombe at St. Mary’s, West Moors

new Junction. He married a girl from west Dorset who bore him 3 children; sadly his wife died at the early age of 27. Their children were taken in by other members of the family, leaving him alone. But not for long. In 1872, he married Mary Ann Woolford, a local farmer's daughter. She was 35, which at the time would have been thought 'advanced' for child-bearing, but she & Thomas produced three children - one of whom, Florence would later become one of the coal merchants in West Moors station yard and also the village's sub-postmistress!

Mary Ann had an ambitious younger brother, John. He started work as a railway porter for the LSWR in Dorchester but had joined brother-in-law Thomas in the local signal-box by 1876.

Thomas & John retired from faithful service early in the 20th century; they died within a year of each other; Thomas in May 1915 and John in November of the following year.

As in their long working lives they 'keep watch' together, buried just a few yards apart in St. Mary's churchyard.

Paul Sumner with Barrett & Coe bring Fantastic Photography to Ringwood and Fordingbridge Local families, schools and corporate partners are benefiting from the opening of the latest Barrett & Coe family portrait and wedding photography studio here in the Avon Valley at Burgate Fordingbridge The owner Paul Sumner, of Barrett & CoeFordingbridge, has in the past 3 months put the finishing touches to his studio which is situated at Studio 5, The Glass House Studios, Fryern Court Road. The business is already trading and working up to the busy Christmas and New Year festivities period.

As part of the largest premium portrait and wedding photographic companies in the country, operating a group of award winning studios nationally, Paul offers a highly personal, professional and caring service with modern, relaxed photoshoots resulting with a choice of some stunning contemporary and traditional images for you to choose from.

Paul also provides a superb range of display and framing options, to ensure that images are exhibited and presented in the best possible manner, to show case and compliment your portrait or wedding images in your home.

TWMD November 2012 page 32

"People are beginning to fall in love again with portraits as personal works of art, displayed proudly in their home rather than forgotten on a disk or computer hard drive, and never viewed again”, says Paul. “It is a great feeling to be able to welcome clients into the Glass House Studios complex, with the beautiful Atrium setting the mood before arriving at my studio for the meeting and photoshoot with them, or just assisting to plan their big events such as weddings or engagement shoots.”

As well as building on-going relationships with the people of Fordingbridge, Paul is fast becoming an active member of the wider business community. Through his interface with Barrett & Coe, Paul’s photographic business has access to established relationships with national brands such as Emma’s Diary, Activity Superstore, National Childbirth Trust and Parent Teacher Association Plus (PTA+) to name a few.

Paul is looking forward to being able to help support and work alongside these, an d local co mmu n ity g rou p s an d organisations, in many different ways.

Raging hormones make stag Morris a threat to all males!

Raging hormones and the call of Nature are making Morris the red deer stag at New Forest Wildlife Park extremely frisky. It’s the annual rutting season and Morris has been squaring up to all males, even his human male keepers and the massive European bison who share his enclosure.

“He can’t think of anything else,” said New Forest Wildlife Park Animal Manager Jason Palmer. “He’ll do anything to protect his girls and even though he’s the only red deer stag in the park, he is still very aggressive to males of any other species.

“His hormones are really raging and he’s stopped eating. He needs to prove himself, but he can’t fight other red deer stags, so he’ll have a go at anything else.

He was eyeing me up and making threatening gestures the other day so we’ll have to keep away from him for the time being. We’ve also separated him from the bison to avoid any trouble.”

The rutting season for red deer usually takes place for around three months, between October and January, depending on what part of the country the deer are located in. During the rut, or breeding season, red deer stags in the wild return to the hinds’ home ranges and compete for breeding access, squaring up to other male competitors in elaborate displays of dominance, including roaring and fighting.

Whoever wins the fight becomes the

dominant stag and has exclusive access to the female hinds.

The red deer normally share an enclosure and field with the park’s three male European bison, who are part of a captive breeding programme for endangered species. European bison used to be native to Britain and would normally cohabit with red deer in the wild.

“Morris has nine hinds in his enclosure and he has no real competition, but he can’t help himself,” said Jason. “He has to use up the aggression and energy someh ow, so h e keep s b ellowin g constantly and adding long grass and twigs and moss to his antlers to make

Three-year-old Morris is lucky, since only stags over five years old tend to mate in the wild, despite being sexually active much earlier. In woodland populations, hinds over one year old usually give birth to a single calf* after an eight-month gestation period, between mid May to mid July each year.

New Forest Wildlife Park has several species of otters, deer and owls, including the endangered giant otter, as well as lynx, foxes, wallabies, European bison, wolves, wild boar, ferrets, pine marten, polecats, harvest mice, badgers and more. The park is involved in international breeding programmes for endangered species and also works with the RSPCA to rescue injured or abandoned animals.

There are timed animal feeding sessions throughout the day, animal encounters on certain days and keeper talks about the amazing wildlife. The park is owned

by Carol and Roger Heap, who are dedicated to wildlife conservation. Carol and Roger also run the Chestnut Centre Conservation and Wildlife Park in Derbyshire and Battersea Park Children’s Zoo in London. *Red deer young are called calves.

The New Forest Wildlife Park is at Deerleap Lane, Longdown, Marchwood, Southampton, Hampshire, SO41 4UH.
