| Liphook |
| Life in Liphook has changed considerably from what it
was int he 1800s , but the community spirit can still be found in this
rural village where once Royalty would pass through in carriages and
possibly stop the night at the Royal Anchor Hotel. Six roads meet at The Square and at the start of the 20th century there only one two houses along them but today is different, with apartments filling every space imaginable
The village has the River Wey to the north and it also had ties with the Navy when the King Georges Sanatorium for Sailors was here but this has long gone, originally the building was a local hospital which held a fete every year, and the Old Boys Bonfire club was the forerunner of the village Carnival which is held in October.
The Royal Anchor Hotel is a dominant feature of The Square and some of the old shops and houses remain today, the postmistress used to be Flora Thompson who also ran the post office in Bramshott and Grayshott VISIT THE LIPHOOK VILLAGE WEBSITE
