Title: Lindford Bridge, 1901 [Go to resource]
Description: The slope down to the old ford is still visible to the left of the bridge. Beyond is Oliver's Farm, situated at the southern end of Broxhead Commontoday still in Headley parish although we 'lost' the rest of Lindford to Whitehill parish in 1929. The original road went from here over Broxhead Common to Sleaford and Kingsley only later was the link made to Bordon. Nowhere has the battle to save local commons been fought with more determination than on Broxhead. Commoners have in the past challenged both the Army and civilian landowners here with considerable success. At the forefront of this activity was the late John Ellis of Headley Mill.
