About
About Eastleigh
Eastleigh is a town in Hampshire, England, between Southampton and Winchester. It is the largest town and the administrative seat of the Borough of Eastleigh, with a population of 24,011 at the 2011 census.
The Borough of Eastleigh contains the town of Eastleigh, and many small villages and hamlets, including Chandler's Ford to the north and Bishopstoke to the east. Perhaps the best-known piece of history associated with Eastleigh is that it is the home of the Spitfire (a famous World War II fighter plane). The aircraft was built, designed and first flown from what is now Southampton Airport. During its military service, Southampton Airport was known as HMS Raven, before it was renamed to Eastleigh Airport in 1947.
