More about this scene
Southwick is not far from Fareham. Most houses have red front doors, showing that they belong to the local estate; a 19th-century mansion sits on the old priory site. Taken over by the Navy in the Second World War, it was Eisenhower's headquarters in 1944, when he was Supreme Allied Commander. The house, now HMS 'Dryad', still belongs to the Navy, and is the navigation school.
