The place is described in text Cobbett 1830
Between Southampton and this place [Weston Grove], we cross a bridge over the Itchen river, and, coming up a hill into a common, which is called Town-hill Common, ...
...
The moon shone very bright by the time that we mounted the hill; and now, skirting the enclosures upon the edge of the common, we passed several of those cottages which I so well recollected, and in which I had the satisfaction to believe that the inhabitants were sitting comfortably with bellies full by a good fire.
