Flower Delivery to Purbrook – A Village in Hampshire, England

The Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales by John Marius Wilson describes Purbrook as “a village and a chapelry in Farlington parish” and a village that “stands near Portsdown hill.” It's a village that lies on the outskirts of Waterlooville, which is north of the boundary of the city of Portsmouth (the second largest city in Hampshire and the only island city in the UK). In addition, the village belongs to the Purbrook Ward which includes the areas called Widley and Crookhorn.

HISTORY

Before 1815, the areas of Waterlooville and Cowplain did not exist. Instead, the area was part of the Forest of Bere, which stretches from the border of Sussex to Winchester. Today, the last remnant of that forest is the Queens Inclosure in Waterlooville.

Purbrook was small village located on the southern edge of that forest. The name of the village is said to be a corruption of Pucanbroc, which is defined as the brook of the water sprite.
