Originally they were cheap holiday homes, often no more than shacks, for a newly enfranchised working class who took advantage of plummetting land values during agricultural depression, to buy their own little plot of England. The planners hated them as they were almost anarchic in the way they would pop up in unexpected places, away from the regular settlements. Because they were built on relatively large plots of land, many have been swept away and replaced by much larger, more conventionally constructed homes, but if you can read between the lines on the map, you can still find little gems such as this surviving in pockets of the countryside. I love 'em!](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635975873804/1c9ff25b-dd39-4c99-bc86-c26d6d30223b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) [Photo](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635975873804/1c9ff25b-dd39-4c99-bc86-c26d6d30223b.jpg) by [Dave Vaughan](https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/14922) ([Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)) ![Spring in the East Hampshire Lanes South-west of Monkwood, daffodils brighten the verges outside the houses.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635975873804/87fe0a7b-c41a-44b7-b597-8d7b6a16b995.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Ropley Things to do ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2026/02/06/expedia-sale-2026-desktop-uk-fr-de.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1400&h=600&q=mediumHigh) ## The Annual Holiday Sale Members save up to 40% on hotels and holiday homes.
