Tint My WindowsBishop’s Waltham, about ten miles east of Southampton, is known as a small town but many still think of it as a village. Indeed it was the winner of ‘Southern England in Bloom 1998’ in both Small Town and Best Kept Village categories. It is a nice place to live but has known a hard life, when, to make ends meet, the women went stone picking, pea picking and strawberry picking.
There was a railway station but this has now gone to make way for a road across the Pond. There were also two brickyards employing many local men. There are now two good council schools in the village, three churches and a Gospel Hall, the Women’s Institute, cricket and football teams and a youth club.
Bishop’s Waltham House is a home for the frail built-in ideal surroundings. The Priory was a seminary run by the White Fathers; after it was sold it became a police college. Cromwell knocked down the Bishop’s Palace; the ruins still remain and are a great attraction. The Pond provided fish for the Palace but now the Fishing Club has taken over and fish themselves. There are a number of footpaths where one can escape from the busy roads. The old railway track is now a public footpath, thanks to the Bishop’s Waltham Society who worked hard to make this possible.
The village information above is taken from The Hampshire Village Book, written by members of Hampshire Federation of Women’s Institutes and published by Countryside Books.
Professionally installed window tinting films improve:
Passenger Comfort
Our automotive window films filter up to 65% of the sun’s heat, reducing interior vehicle temperature. Long journeys are more enjoyable – when parked up your vehicle will stay cool for longer. You can also save a decent amount on air conditioning/fuel costs.
Less Glare & Fatigue
Window tinting reduces up to 95% of unwanted glare within the vehicle’s interior and helps take the strain out of driving. Sun strips on the front windscreen should also be considered, especially in the winter to spring months, whilst the sun is low on the horizon.
UV Ray Protection
Automotive window films screen out up to 99 % of the sun’s invisible UV radiation, a principal cause of skin cancer and premature skin aging.
Reduce Interior Fading
Solar heat and UV rays can cause interior plastic trim cracks and fading of upholstery/carpeting. Using window tints helps keep your vehicle looking new.
