Hampton Dene
edit
Hampton Dene[8][9] is described as historically consisting of no more than a 19th century villa with a small park.[10][11] Hampton Dene Primary School is the main primary school in the area.[12][13]
Hampton Grange
edit
Hampton Grange is the location of the former Hampton Grange Hospital which was built in 1918 and served as a military hospital under the name "Hampton Grange Auxillary Hospital, Hereford" during the First World War. The hospital has since been converted into a care home which maintains the name Hampton Grange.[14][15][16][17]
Hampton Park
edit
Hampton Park is the name given to both a public park and an area near Tupsley on Old Eign Hill.[18] The area was also the location of the former brickwork called "Hampton Park Brickworks".[19] This was in operation around 1914 but it is believed the works closed in 1940–1960.[20][21][22][23]
Transport
editThere are regular buses to Hereford and other destinations.[24][25][26]
