St James' Park, Southampton

St James' Park, Southampton is a recreational area situated in the district of Shirley, Southampton opposite St James' Church, Southampton. It is adjacent to Winchester Road and surrounded by housing, some of it dating from the mid Victorian Period. It is supported by The Friends Of St James' Park (FOSJP) 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Friends of St.James' Park )〕 who run a cafe and organise community events.
The land now occupied by the park was gradually surrounded by housing as the suburb of Shirley, Southampton developed in the mid 1800s. At first it remained grazing land but eventually became a nursery and then a gravel pit. This last use has resulted in the park having a pleasant sunken appearance. In 1907 the land was purchased by the local authority and became a public park after landscaping in 1911.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Southampton City Council )〕
A popular story grew up in Southampton that the park was to have been the site of a railway station on the unbuilt section of the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway (still repeated in books) but plans deposited with Hampshire Record Office for this and later versions of the same scheme show this not to have been the case. The planned route actually ran down from a tunnel in Chilworth near the current Chilworth Arms pub, through Lordswood and the site of the current Sports Centre, along the East Side of Dale Valley before turning under Winchester Road. It then passed to the North East of the park through land now occupied by Shirley Junior School before continuing along a course close to the present Wilton Road.〔Deposited Plans Hampshire Record Office Collection DP/384/1 Didcot Newbury and Southampton Junction Railway: deposited plan 1881〕 Some land was purchased and work undertaken to the East of Hill Lane South of Archers Road,〔Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway", Sands, T.B. ISBN 9780853610236〕 where The Dell (Southampton) was later built〔 and an unused embankment still exists running towards Commercial Road. South of St James's Park Didcot, Newbury and Stratton (formerley Station) Roads were named, although Station Road did contain a Police Station at one time.〔 Nothing came of this or later similar schemes which finally petered out prior to World War One.
