The name for Eastleigh station was originally Bishopstoke but the Railway changed this to avoid confusion with Basingstoke. One of my suppliers is a metalbasher. He and his family (Frith) used to word in the engine-building sheds - now the bus station. He says that the noise was so loud that if you wanted to talk to someone you went up to them, cupped your hands over their ear and shouted into it. He's now partially deaf, of course.
