Description: | Aubrey talks about the rapid expansion of Southwater in the 20th century. Shipley (just to the south of Southwater) and Itchingfield (just to the northwest), Henfield (to the southeast) and Lancing (to the south) are all nearby villages. Horsham (just to the northeast) and Steyning (to the south) are nearby towns. Gatwick refers to the major international airport to the northeast. The Women's Institute (WI) Movement in Britain was formed in 1915 to encourage countrywomen to get involved in growing and preserving food to help to increase the supply of food during World War I. The first WI had been established in 1897 in Stoney Creek, Ontario, Canada, as a branch of the Farmer's Institute. It is now the largest women's organization in Britain and offers women the opportunity to make an impact in their communities, to influence local, national and world issues affecting the social, economic and environmental life of families and communities, and to learn traditional and new skills.
