All profits made by The Alresford Pigs will be used to support local needy causes.
New Alresford or simply Alresford is a small town and civil parish in the City of Winchester district of Hampshire, England. It is 7.5 miles (12 km) northeast of Winchester and 12 miles (20 km) southwest of the town of Alton.
New Alresford has independent shops, a tourist information centre, a central conservation area, four tea rooms, five pubs and is a terminus as with Alton of the Watercress Line, a steam-worked heritage railway at Alresford railway station. Of its population, 25.9% are aged 65 or over, and the mean age is higher than the national average, at 45.4 years.
West Street here is part of the B3047 which runs alongside the River Itchen through mid-Hampshire.
It starts on a roundabout on the A31 east of Bishop's Sutton, and heads westwards through the village into New Alresford, briefly multiplexing with the B3046 through the town centre. It then crosses the now-disused Alton - Winchester line and TOTSOs to the right - the road ahead being a spur of the B3047 leading back to the A31.
After this, the road changes character to a more rural and winding route, closely following the south bank of the Itchen through Itchen Stoke and Itchen Abbas. The M3 is crossed without a junction and the road then meets the A33 at the north end of the Winchester Bypass.
The A33 is crossed via a staggered crossroads, after which the B3047 takes over part of the historic Roman Road from Basingstoke to Winchester into Winchester city centre. It TOTSOs (The acronym TOTSO is used on SABRE to refer to a junction at which the road continuing straight ahead does not bear the same number as the route we are currently following—we must therefore Turn Off To Stay On that same numbered route.) left onto Hyde Street before ending at the bottom end of the street at traffic lights on the B3330.
