The first building on Chilbolton Avenue was the clubhouse of the Royal Winchester Golf Club, built in 1901.
The first six houses on Chilbolton Avenue were built between 1909 and 1912.
Residents have included generals, admirals, judges, doctors, dentists, architects, colonial civil servants, etymologists, poets, golfers and many other interesting and significant people, including a 'Female Enemy Alien' refugee.
This version of the site covers the first 20 houses and the approximately 50 households who lived there. This takes us to the late 1930's.
The purpose of this site is to assist in research - and for idle curiosity.
If you have any comments, additions or corrections, please contact me
Special thanks to those former residents, children of former residents and grandchildren of former residents who have contacted me and allowed me to add their personal records, photos and memories to the site.
