NOTE: William Webb [1862-1930] came to Ashley Heath in 1920 and reclaimed 1500 acres of heath land to build a garden estate to be called 'Hampshire Heath Garden Estate'. Twelve houses were built in plots of one acre, including a house for himself, as well as this row of shops to serve the inhabitants. Webb had previously lived in Surrey, where he had created in 1901-20 Woodcote Village [now in the London Borough of Croydon] which was based on ideas expounded in his book 'Garden First in Land Development'.
