Stanmore is a large residential suburb of Winchester, Hampshire, England, situated on a very steep slope from West to East. It lies to the south-west of the city centre and to the north of Badger Farm, and makes up a large percentage, in both area and population, of the St. Luke electoral ward. It is home to roughly 6,000 inhabitants.

History

Historically the area was known as Stanmer Weye, before construction of the estate started in 1920. An official opening by George V, then the Prince of Wales, was carried out in 1923.[1]

Description

Stanmore is a typical early 1900's housing estate, with medium-sized red brick houses and numerous green spaces, however there are also a number of newer developments, especially around the area informally known as Lower Stanmore.

The Right to Buy scheme has enabled a large number of properties in Stanmore to come into private ownership, and this has seen the student population increase significantly. This is also due to Stanmore's close proximity to the University of Winchester.

Amenities

The suburb formerly had two pubs, 'The Stanmore Hotel' (closed 2009) and 'New Queens Head' (closed 2012), with the former becoming a care home, and the latter being redeveloped into social housing.[2][3] There are two local retail areas in Stanmore, in Wavell Way and Cromwell Road respectively. There is also a community centre on Somers Close.

Religion

Stanmore is home to two religious institutions, St Luke's Church of the Church of England on Mildmay Street, and Level10 Church on Stanmore Lane, in the building formerly occupied by Winchester Family Church.
