Steventon Hill Reservoir
A Memory of Fawley.
Back in the good old 60's I was looking for work as a labourer and noticed that something was going on at Steventon Hill. I walked up the track and met foreman Charlie Bain who gave me a start doing the ground work and preparing the site. Charlie was a great character and the job also supplied work for my mates Ken Galvin, 'Limmy' Lynch and Ron Frankum. It was a cushy number to start with but later a Polish ganger called Jan arrived from another site and spoiled things. He was a slave driver and the sack was forthcoming for the 4 of us. Many years later I returned to find no trace of the reservior just a field of barley where my friends and I had sweated and toiled (not much). I will be pleased to hear from anyone who remembers the reservoir. Keith Lewis
