Cove is an ancient village in the very north-east of Hants and which has become a suburb forming the western part of Farnborough.
The village is adjacent to Hawley village and Southwood.
History
Cove is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, which records that:
"Germanus holds from the Bishop 8 hides of this land in ITCHEL and COVE".[1][2]
The Farnborough workhouse was located in Workhouse Lane, Cove (now known as Union street). This workhouse was built before 1832, was closed in 1868, sold in 1871 and demolished in the 1980s. The building was named Wilmot House, after the Lord of the manor.
About the village
The only naturally occurring water features that still exist in Cove are Cove Brook and Marrowbrook (which was once the outlet to the lake on Cove Common). There was once a pond on Cove Green.
