West Street begins at the junction with High Street and runs westward becoming part of B2150 at the Green Man junction, continuing beyond the Village boundary and the junction with Fareham Road towards Denmead via Well Hill. Confusingly West St is bisected at the junction with Green Lane where the latter has right of way giving the impression when travelling west from the village centre that one is joining a different road. To reduce confusion we do talk about Upper West Street (being the easterly section) and Lower West Street the westerly section.
Photo: Upper West St, Hambledon | View along West St from East St looking west c1958. Here are signs of lively commerce with the Peoples Market a general store in the short parade of shops left including Lloyds Bank. Clarkes Stores is still in its early site on High St corner and the Copper Kettle cafe opposite. The No39 bus waits for passengers.
A quieter western stretch of the village, where older cottages and twentieth-century homes reflect Hambledon’s gradual residential development over time.
