The village of Tadley lies within North East Hampshire and was originally common land covered in covered in gorse with a few scattered settlements, the local soil content proving excellent for the manufacture of bricks which were made at Tadley Common, a practice that has long since ceased. Tadley was, and still is, the centre of the local besom industry, the besom is a type of broom made form twigs and is usually associated with witches! Indeed there is evidence today that the witches exist here in Tadley, albeit the Tadley Witches Netball Team. The besom has been made here in Tadley for some 300 years and such is their fame that in the Harry Potter films the brooms used were all made here in Tadley. Today Tadley, because of its convenient location, has become more of a residential town due in part to its ease of access and also to the growth in government establishments in and around the area. Schools, libraries together with leisure and recreational facilities are all to be found here and combined with its location it is easy to understand why this is a popular location for its residents.
