Stockbridge
Stockbridge is a small town and also civil parish in the Test Valley area of Hampshire, England. It is among the tiniest towns in the United Kingdom with a population of 592 since the 2011 census. It rests astride the River Test as well as at the foot of Stockbridge Down. The community is positioned on the A30 road, which once carried a lot of the traffic from London to Dorset, southern Somerset, Devon and Cornwall in the South West, though today this course is less important than the A303 twin carriageway to the north. The bridge over the Test caused the town's name, a local legend suggested a train quit stocked provisions, but it originates from an earlier bridge that was constructed from 'supplies' (tree trunks). Salisbury is 15 miles (24 km) by road; Winchester is 8.3 miles (13.4 km) by the B3049 road that joins the A30 close by. The community's lengthy high street was thus on an useful course between both middle ages cathedral cities. The town's civil church has an area of 1,323 acres (535 ha). The town's street goes across the River Test, marking the boundary of the churches of Stockbridge and also Longstock by a low bridge of 3 arcs rebuilt as well as broadened in 1799. Five smaller sized river channels flow through the town. For a quick time, to offer room for fish, these were divided into eight artificial ditches just above the community. The community is on a shared pedestrian/footpath, the Test Way.
