Cartwright Drive

Street guide, Titchfield

Cartwright Drive is a residential road in the West Hill area, built as part of the mid-twentieth-century expansion of the village. The road has a typical suburban character, with semi-detached and detached houses set in gardens along a curving route. There are several cul-de-sacs and short roads branching off Cartwright Drive, forming a distinct residential enclave. The housing dates mainly from the 1950s and 1960s and is well maintained. The drive is within easy walking distance of the village centre and the primary school. It is a quiet road with no through traffic, serving only the houses along it. Cartwright Drive represents the kind of suburban expansion that happened across many Hampshire villages in the post-war period, adding family housing to settlements that had previously been more compact.
