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 residences. [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] The Borough Council [6] designates the area UA2: not a priority for extra investment. [7]
