ASPECTS OF LYMINGTON
In a regular series Aspects of Lymington, Ray
Mayes provides a miscellany of views of
Lymington – its people, buildings, history and
development, and relationship to the coast and
the New Forest. This month he poses the
question who is protecting Lymington’s salt
heritage?
Protecting Lymington’s
Salt Heritage
There is no lovelier walk in and around
Lymington (apart from the adjacent beauty of
the New Forest) than the marshes and mudflats
of the Lymington-Keyhaven Nature Reserve.
With distant views of the Isle of Wight, the
coastal footpath follows the shallow brackish
lagoons behind the seawall, connected to the
Solent through a system of sluices and tidal
flaps.
Here is the foundation of Lymington’s heritage,
which was so key to the development of the
town
brine solution. Today, Moses Dock is the only
remaining navigable dock.
Salt barns under threat
The last remaining buildings of the area’s salt
heritage are two Moses Dock 'salt barns' – and,
as can be seen, these currently appear in a poor
condition. One severe storm as we have
experienced recently could see the salt barns
collapse like a pack of cards.

This idyllic scenery once manifested a major
industry – the production of sea salt which was
active from medieval times until 1865. Today,
the Nature Reserve contains the best-preserved
examples of former salt workings in southern
England. This unique historical and wildlife
heritage is managed by the Hampshire & Isle of
Wight Wildlife Trust.
One aspect of the area’s remaining built
heritage, however, is at threat.
18th century salt industry
When we refer to our town as ‘Georgian’, we
are alluding not only to its fundamental
architectural heritage but the wealth upon
which it was founded. In the 17th Century, the
manufacture of salt was central to the economic
welfare of the town. Many of the saltern owners
were men of status and owned substantial
houses. The Burrard family were heavily
involved in the salt industry, owning many of the
salterns.
The two salt barns, which are adjacent to (but
are part of) Creek Cottage in Lower Woodside
Lymington (SO41 8AJ); they have already been
recognised by the planning authorities as
heritage assets of special architectural or
historic
interest.
Creek
Cottage
itself is nondesignated
but its two
salt barns
are Grade II
listed,
dating from
the 18th
century. The public footpath surrounds the head
of Moses Dock, with a rounded earth bank.
Protecting the salt barns: whose responsibility?
The future of the salt barns would seem to be in
the hands of the owners and the planning
authorities. It is understood that discussions
between the owners and officers from the New
Forest National Park (planning and
conservation) have taken place to ensure that
any work to both Creek Cottage itself and the
While there are many remaining examples of
Georgian architecture in the town, little can be
seen of industrial building along the whole
length of the ‘salterns’ - the shallow lagoons
where the seawater was impounded. No
evidence remains visible of the wind pumps adjoining Ray listed Mayes salt is the barns author should of leaflets not adversely on Historic

...However, it is potentially a lack of proper
protective structural maintenance that is
crucially important. The whole community
have a vested interest in protecting these
heritage assets. This needs action before it is
too late.
The danger is that this last remaining part of
Lymington’s salt heritage, of which we are so
proud, is gradually eroding. It is not clear who
is responsible for protecting these interests –
the owners themselves, the New Forest
National Park Authority, the NFDC, Hampshire
County Council, or even the Lymington &
Pennington Town Council. Surely these are all
interested parties.
The Lymington Society (the town’s civic
society) is aware of the threat to the salt
barns – is this another case for community
action?
Ray Mayes is the author of leaflets on Historic
Lymington (three town trail walks) and the Blue
Plaques Trail (describing the stories behind the
town’s 13 Blue Plaques).

Ordered just twodaysbeforethe death of
King George VI,inFebruary 1952, theroyal
yachtwas intended both to transportthe
royalfamilyaroundthe globeand to serve
as ahospital ship should theneed arise. Too
late to offerconvalescence for theailing
King,she wentontobecome ahighlyvisible
symbolofthe Queen’s reign,logging atotal
of 1,087,623 nauticalmiles during the

The412ft(126m) steam-powered yachtwas
built by John Brown&Co, theScottish
shipbuilderthatwas also responsible forthe
QueenMary andthe QueenElizabeth.Just
weeksfromthe coronation, shewas
launched by thenew Queen at Clydebank
on 16 April1953.
If thetraditional three maststowering over
the decksensured that Britannia was
capableofflying allthe flags required of a
royalvessel, herclipperbow representeda
breakfromthe past.Her fittingout wasfar
from conventional, too –not leastbecause
theQueen’s children wouldbeonboard.
From sandpits andslidestolifeguardsand a
month’s supply of freshmilk, it wasa
dauntingtask, takenonbyActing Captain J
SDalglish,widely known as Fish. His
‘Letters from aFishtohis Admiral’ make
fascinating reading!
Ayearafterthe launch,all was ready for

thefirst royalpassengerswere theyoung
Prince Charles andPrincessAnne, with the

Anyone for
cardsor
board
games?
Lymington
u3ahas a
numberof
member-led
groups for
thosewho enjoycardand boardgames,
andwould be gladtohelpnew groups to
start up too.
Bridge is widelyplayedaround
Lymington, and Lymington u3awould
like to have its ownbridgegroup if
anyone is interested.
Canasta (Spanish for "basket")isacard
game of therummy family of games. It
wasdevised by attorney Segundo
Sanchez Santos andhis Bridge partner,
architect AlbertoSerrato in Montevideo,
Uruguayin1939, in an attempttodesign
atime-efficient game thatwas as
engaging as Bridge.
Rummy: TheMexican game knownas
‘Conquian’issaid to be the originofall
formsofthe rummy game. It is agame
with afourhundred-year-old historyand
it wasplayed mainly in Spain and
Mexico. Rummy is agroup of games
basedonmatchingcards of thesame
rank or sequenceand samesuit.
Whist is aclassic English trick-takingcard
game which waswidelyplayed in the
18th and19thcenturies. Althoughthe
rulesare simple,there is scopefor
strategicplay.
Mahjong:Asmentionedinarecent article,
this game uses 144tilesand is played like
Rummy. JosephP.Babcock,ofthe Standard
Oil Company, Suzhou, collectedand interpreted
the variationsofthe game fromChina.
Hearranged for Arabic numeralstobe
engraved on thetileswhenin1920 he imported
sets of tiles to theUSA. Hesimplified
thegameand introducedastandard
set of rules, giving us the game of Mahjong
that we know today.
Scrabble is aword-buildingboard game

During August & September
August is high Summer when the heat is maintained but day-length becomes noticeably
reduced towards the end of the month.
September is more mellow, day-length shortens rapidly as it progresses.
• Scruffy Lawns will benefit from scarifying. Also, patches can be reseeded with a gently
loosening of the top and addition of good quality seed. If dry pre-moisten and keep moist until
growth is established. If and when you cut the lawn, don’t over cut it and remember to
compost the clippings.
• Summer pruning of fruit trees produces less soft growth than winter pruning. Birds and
squirrels love the ripening fruit of plums and cherries, so protection is beneficial. And
remember, these beasties are awake and feeding while we are in deep nod. The prunings of
raspberries can be shredded (or finely chopped up) and added to the compost.
• Keep harvesting and devouring crops before they become tough, and there are some late veg
can still be sown under glass: Rocket, Endive, Chicory, spring Onion and spring Cabbage.
Japanese Onions can be planted in September.
• Keep Brassicas protected from pigeons, they will strip all the new growth.
• August is a good month to “hedge”, so those shears need to be sharp and oiled.
• Many shrubs will benefit from trimming back new growth, this will let the small shoots harden
before the Winter blasts. Hebes should be pruned back after flowering.
• If dry, camellias need a good soak, they are now developing next year’s blossom.
• If wet, you can start moving plants around the garden.
• Now is the time to collect ripe seed. It is not necessary to collect weed seed - they spread
perfect well without help. That is unless a re-wilded garden is desired.
• At the risk of sounding like a cracked record, keep head-heading.
• Continue watering pots and new plantings, and keep fed.
• We can’t let our Daisies droop, so keep herbaceous plants supported until they have finished
flowering.
• Daffodils and other spring bulbs should be planted in September. Tulips are best planted in
November. Buy fresh and plant fresh.
• Cuttings of tender perennials such as Salvias or Penstemon can be taken in late Summer, they
need to be kept moist and warm.
• Remove the greenhouse shading.
• Any bare ground will love some unctuous compost spread over it.
IN THE GARDEN
• And, most importantly, if it’s hot just sit back and enjoy your garden, and ignore the weeds.
We welcome any questions that you may have, and we'll do our best to help.
We have been keen gardeners for over 30 years, opening our garden over 18 years for the
National Garden Scheme. Since moving to the New Forest area we have been recreating a largish
garden whilst getting used to the new soil conditions.
