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]).
