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]
