Headley Down

A temporary wooden building in Carlton Road erected in the 1960s housed the post office, where it remained until incorporated into Whittle's store (subsequently Londis) in Eddeys Lane.

From early April 1944, 107 Regiment Royal Armoured Corps (King's Own) trained with Churchill tanks on Headley Down in preparation for the invasion of Normandy.

[14] In the 1950s Alfred Whittle opened a general store, butcher's and coal merchant in Eddeys Lane[15] to accommodate Headley Down's increasing post-war population.

The Parish Council set out to explore ways to improve social inclusion and in 2007 produced a report with recommendations for action.

[22] Ludshott Common, adjoining the eastern and southern boundary of the village, is one of the largest remaining areas of heathland in East Hampshire.

There is also a great variety of spider and butterfly species, including the silver-studded blue, grayling and green hairstreak.

Local residents remembered it had previously contained a wide variety of insect life, amphibians and fish, and attracted kingfishers.
