Itchen Ferry village

[1] The village lost a large part of its livelihood when the Floating Bridge was introduced in 1836, but continued to operate a night service until the late 19th century.

A memorial to Richard Parker of Itchen Ferry village can be seen in the graveyard of Jesus Chapel on Peartree Green.

[3][4] The desperate situation that led to his death in 1884 was the subject of a significant murder trial, Regina v. Dudley & Stephens, that changed English law.

Already absorbed into its larger neighbour, Woolston, and subsequently into the borough of Southampton in 1920,[5] Itchen Ferry village was destroyed beyond repair by the Luftwaffe on 26 September 1940[5] due to its misfortune of being a stone's throw from the Supermarine factory and a short distance up-river from the John I. Thornycroft & Company shipyard.

[2] An air raid shelter in the lower region of Sea Road near the railway line[1] is reported as receiving a direct hit on 24 September 1940.
