Hook Conservation Area lies in the countryside, approximately 2 miles west of Titchfield and a mile north of the coast. It was designated as a Conservation Area in 1974. The conservation area was designated to protect the small industrial hamlet, which was built by William Hornby in the mid nineteenth century, to serve the Hook Estate. It comprises a blacksmiths house, smithy, four workers' cottages and a wheelwright's house. The core of the conservation area is centred on this well preserved group of Victorian estate buildings. The smithy and wheelwright’s shop gradually expanded to serve the wider area of Warsash and Locks Heath, providing woodwork and ironwork services for the district.
