Eastleigh
From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia
Eastleigh is a railway town in
Hampshire,
England, between
Southampton and
Winchester. It has a population of about 120,000 people, and is therefore large enough to warrant an MP, who is currently
David Chidgey (Liberal Democrats).
A village called East Leah has been nearby for centuries, but the railway station was originally named Bishopstoke Junction, only becoming Eastleigh in 1923, after the town that sprung up around it.
Eastleigh today is the site of a Southampton Airport, a major airport.
