Apologies

I am really sorry that it has taken me so long to do any updates.  Time has been really tight lately.  Many thanks to all who have contacted me with photos and names and hopefully, I have now added them all, but if not, and you are happy to remind me, I promise I will add them.  Thanks for all of your continuing support and for all of the photos and names you have sent.

Email Contact Page

If you would like to get in contact with any ex Eastleigh Works colleagues, and would like your email address displayed for people to contact you, (or if you are looking for someone in particular) please let me know stating that you are happy for your details to be shared and I will make a contact page contact us

 

This site is dedicated to the men and women who have worked at Eastleigh Works.  All contents of this site have been compiled in good faith and the author apologises for  any errors or incorrect information.

The site is really just a record of names of the people who worked at Eastleigh Works

This has been a very long process and if you know of any errors or know of anyone else who has worked at Eastleigh Works, please contact us with as many details as possible (which can be shared publicly) and if you have any photographs which we would be able to consider for inclusion, that would be a great help (although we cannot guarantee we will use them - mainly due to space and copyrights).

If you are visiting this site, it is most likely that you worked or knew someone who worked at Eastleigh Works and if you can help with any stories, funny, sad or serious, or just a few thoughts of working life, please contact us and I will try to add it to this site, but no promises given.
