  1. A BRIEF HISTORY OF FARNHAM TOWN

  2. Before you take a trip to the iconic market town of Farnham, Surrey in England here is a brief history of the place that you might be interested in. Here we go. Farnham, during the Palaeolithic age, was little more than just a gravel track - filled with dirt, boulders and unpaved roads- it was precisely used by people and Mammoths alike. Later in the Bronze and Iron ages, Farnham was developed into a 'junction' of tracks, and gradually people started occupying around the area more than ever. During the historic Roman occupation of the town, potteries began appearing around the corners and surprisingly some of them are still present today.

  3. It was the Germanic Tribes during the Anglo Saxon Invasion in 688AD that gave the town its name “Fearnhamme” referring to the Fern and Bracken which tremendously grows in the area till date enriching the natural scenery of the town. Ferns along with the water meadows which make up large areas of the town surrounding the River Wey became an imminent part of the name, which was later modified into Farnham. Farnham had always been way ahead in activities, it established itself as a thriving market town through the sale of wool and hops. But it was evident during the army occupation in the mid-1800s in the neighbouring towns of Aldershot and Bordon that Farnham flourished into the famous Market Town of today, something the town is always renowned for. This ingress of army personnel into the neighbouring towns saw an enormous increase in the production of beer in the Maltings yard. They also insinuated the appearance of many more pubs in the area for entertainment and chilling.

  4. In several years that passed by, Farnham witnessed the growth and fall of many small industries and businesses including the shut down of some pubs for marketing needs. Somehow farming was the only thing that glued onto Farnham and still remains as the prominent industry of the area. Many of the historic leftovers are still lying around in the town. If you wish to pick them one by one, get a ride on the taxis in Farnham and have a tour around the locale to know the history of the place in a deeper sense.
