Denvilles is a locality within Havant to the north of Warblington railway station [1]. In 1877 it consisted of a solitary farm[2] but by 1897 there were several roads of detached residencies[3]. Slowly the area grew and in the 1960s it doubled in size as smaller housing estates for private ownership were built[4]. The area has a small convenience store but the adjoining satellite health centre moved in July to centralised premises elsewhere[5]. Despite this the Borough Council[6] designates the area UA2 (not a priority for extra investment[7]).
