Origin
Until 1811
Fishers Hill was the main route between Portsmouth/Fareham
and Southampton/Titchfield.
(The
direct road ('Catisfield Hill') from Heathfield to Titchfield was opened
on the first of June, 1811).
Among those who would have used it were probably Henry VI & Margaret of Anjou, William Shakespeare, Pepys.
1610 'The Great Map' of the Titchfield Estate shows Fishers Hill running straight-up to Highlands Road, bypassing Catisfield (ie following the track that runs to the north of the cottages today).
1791 Milne's map shows that Fishers Hill appears to follow today's route (ie running up to the Post Office).
