Heritage Centre – No1 New Milton

What is proposed?

The Station Master’s house at the train station, built in 1886, was New Milton’s first brick building – thus providing the ideal location for a Heritage Centre for the Parish: No1 New Milton. The vision for the Heritage Centre is to help the community learn about the way local people lived using ancient artefacts, Domesday Book records, maps and everyday items – going through to the Great War, the Depression and World War II – a period of rapid growth for Old Milton, Barton on Sea, Ashley, Bashley and New Milton. The vision extends to the garden where a community garden is proposed, landscaped to enhance the station setting, with a place to sit and relax, or have a friendly chat with another visitor.

When launched, New Milton Heritage Society will be taking on the project management.

Where are we now?
