Fareham Removals

Fareham is a beautiful market town located between the bustling cities of Portsmouth and Southampton in the south east of Hampshire. It sits on the north west tip of Portsmouth Harbour with stunning views over Salterns Lake which feeds into the ocean. Historically, the town is an important manufacturer of bricks, which were notably used to build the Royal Albert Hall. These days, retail is the biggest industry due to the huge Fareham Shopping Centre. Defence is also an area in which a lot of Fareham residents work within, with the Royal Navy’s HMS Collingwood and the Ministry of Defence’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory nearby.
