History

Although traditionally within the parish of Boldre, the name of the hamlet apparently derives from the fact that "East End Bridge" was also the easternmost point of the parliamentary borough of Lymington.[1] The bridge in question is built over Crockford Stream which flows into Sowley Pond just to the southeast of East End. An Independent Chapel was built at East End in 1808, later to become Congregational and, subsequently, a United Reformed Church. The small brick building with its tiled roof survives as a commercial establishment.[2] The hamlet of East End was included in the civil parish of East Boldre when the parish was created in 1929.[3]

There is one inn called the "East End Arms". It was bought in the mid 1990s by John Illsley, former bass guitarist of the rock band, Dire Straits.[4][5]
