OK, that's promising.  I can't find anything online, but if you have sources for it having had a market and a fair, they can go in the Liphook article, and we then have some evidence for Liphook being a town.

If you have some specific places in mind on this list which don't fit the criteria, then by all means let's look at them, but Basingstoke, Milton Keynes and Eastleigh fall into the "generally referred to as a town" category, so should be included under current guidelines.  talk
