Background
History
Lying on the main road between Petersfield and Farnham, now the A325, there had been a hostelry, the Prince of Wales, at what was to become Whitehill. With the development of Bordon Camp and Longmoor Military Camp between 1899 and 1903, Whitehill, lying between the two, began to develop. Whitehill became a civil parish in 1928, having formerly been part of the parishes of Headley and Selborne. By 1931, the population of the civil parish was 4,661 in 631 households. In 1932 a police station and court house were built, but courts were later held at Alton.
