Virtual Tour - Cove Court

You've made it to the former site of Cove Court near St. John's Church on Minley Road, once a grand house with large grounds and stables, but which has now made way for residential development. Shakespeare Gardens in Cove now sit at this spot. Image 6 shows Cove Court as seen from Twelve Acre Crescent on the Minley estate.

Where to now? To the South is West Heath Corner, and further West are the former sites of Cove Radio Station, Whitehall Farm, Bramshot Halt, Tarn Close, Southwood House and Southwood camp, and close by is Fleet Road. To the East are Cove Junior School, the Alma Inn and Elmsleigh Road in the middle of Cove, the Solartron factory and the Thatched Cottage pub.
