Older readers may remember around that area was known as the "The Strong Country" after the the brewers Strong and Co of Romsey Ltd.

"You are entering Strong Country" by the railway track?
There were a few along the line , some said you are approaching the Strong Country,some with the words you noted and eventaully "you are in" or "This is" the Strong Country. The Watercress steam line has replicas of a couple although ironically that part of Hampshire was served more by the Alton based brewers. This is one of the replica railway style ones
Normal ones by roads were this style
