Welcome to Bordon
Bordon is a town in Hampshire, Near the border of Surrey. Unlike other settlements in the area, it's never been a market town, and served as an army base for several years, first set up in the interim between the first and second Boer wars. In 2009, it was revealed that Bordon would be the site of a future eco-town as part of a scheme headed by the Labour party.
