Highbridge, Hampshire
Highbridge is a small community on the edge of Colden Common, Allbrook, Hampshire, England. Once major gravel works, and clay digging to make bricks, were carried out here. Kiln Lane is an example of the names left behind after extraction ceased. Highbridge is on the River Itchen and the Itchen Canal is nearby. The gravel works left a very large lake which nowadays is used for fishing.
