Facilities
Knowle had a number of features unusual for a county asylum - a splendid church constructed out of the local (Fareham red) bricks (used more famously for the Royal Albert Hall in London), and its own pub, the "County Arms".
Knowle Halt, a small railway station on the Eastleigh to Fareham line, served the asylum from 1907. The station, close to the village of Funtley, was closed in 1964. Trains from the Meon Valley Railway, a cross-country railway in Hampshire, also served Knowle Halt.

“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
