Palmerston Drive

Street guide, Fareham

Palmerston Drive is a residential road in the Cams Hill area, typical of the suburban development that expanded Fareham's housing stock in the 1960s and 1970s. The road and its associated cul-de-sacs provide family housing in a quiet suburban setting. Detached and semi-detached houses predominate, with front gardens and off-street parking. The area is served by Cams Hill School and is within reach of the town centre by car or bus. The name Palmerston reflects the wider local heritage of the Palmerston Forts, several of which were built in the Fareham area to defend Portsmouth from potential attack. The road is typical of its era, designed with the car in mind and providing comfortable family accommodation.
