Calling all Wi******er and Alresford history lovers, local businesses, and community champions.Did you know that in 1961, the public toilets on Station Road in New Alresford were at the exact center of a high-stakes Cold War espionage plot? The infamous Portland Spy Ring systematically used them as a secret "dead drop" to pass stolen British nuclear submarine blueprints to their Soviet handlers.The Watercress Line Heritage Railway Trust is working to bring this incredible, real-world piece of local Hampshire history to life with a brand-new initiative called "Spies on the Platform."Instead of static museum plaques, we are designing an interactive, living history experience right at the terminus, alongside curriculum-linked spycraft workshops for local secondary school students. Crucially, we are also building mobile, vintage-style "Spy Kit" trunks to take these multi-sensory history sessions directly into rural village halls to support isolated older people's groups across the district.We have a fixed project delivery budget of £5,000 to cover upcycled 1960s costumes, learning resource fabrication, and volunteer training. To get this off the ground, we are pooling local funding and looking to connect with Wi******er district councillors, community grant leads, or local business sponsors who want to partner with us to make this a reality.If you are a local business interested in sponsorship, a councillor looking to back a project that directly supports rural schools and community groups in your ward, or if you simply know a local group that would love a visit from our mobile spy trunks, we want to hear from you.Please drop a comment below, tag your local councillor to help get this on their radar, or email our Education and Outreach Coordinator, Daniel Ball, directly at [email protected]

Please could someone recommend a man with a van who would be available tomorrow or Friday late afternoon/early eve or sometime on Saturday to collect a large piece of furniture - a large chest of drawers from SP2 (near Salisbury) and bring back to Wi******er SO23. There will be help loading and unloading each end. Many thanks.
