Alresford (pronounced "ALLS-ford") is a country market town on the River Arle in Hampshire.

Introduction

Although the overall look of Alresford is that of a Georgian market town and the area is believed to have been inhabited since the Bronze Age. The settlement of the locality began with the village of Old Alresford, mentioned in the Domesday Book. In the late 12th century, a "Great Weir" was constructed to create Old Alresford Pond and at this point a (comparatively) new settlement sprang up alongside: this second town has been known as "New Alresford", although it is over 800 years old. Locals refer to it as simply "Alresford", only adding the prefix in the case of Old Alresford, which remains a sleepy but picturesque little village.

Today, in many ways Alresford is the quintcrucial English small country town, with the friendly atmosphere and English traditions maintained throughout the ages. This "vibe" is owed in part to the fact that it is sufficiently inconvenient for commuters to London that the demographic of the town is mostly families and retirees, many of whom have lived there for generations. Young people who grow up in the town frequently move away for their career and then return to start a family. As a result and there is a strong sense of community and a warmth towards visitors and local residents.

The oldest and most picturesque part of the town is where Broad Street meets East Street and West Street. These three streets are lined with beautiful Georgian townhouses and retail outlets.
