North Park Business Centre, Knowle
There is another line of offices like this off picture right. I believe the house at the end is Knowle Farmhouse.

Automatic bollards separating Knowle Avenue from Mayles Lane
Knowle Village is a redevelopment as a residential area of the former Hampshire County Lunatic Asylum. It has its own dedicated access road from the A32, but has otherwise been designed to be cut off from the surrounding lanes. This automatic barrier enables the bus to enter Knowle from Mayles Lane but prevents any other vehicles from doing so.
The housing in background is Mayles Corner.

Business Unit next to railway line at Knowle
I'm not sure if this building may originally have been associated with the Fareham to Botley railway line, but it is now an office. I am grateful for the following information from Nigel Wassell in 2022. "This complex of buildings is marked on the 1909 edition 1:2,500 series plan (Hampshire and Isle of Wight LXVI.16, copy at https://maps.nls.uk/view/105987484) as a Gas Works. The building with the round porthole-type opening was presumably the Retort House. There was a siding into the site (presumably for coal deliveries). The building and siding is still shown on the 1946 edition of the map, but its function is not named. Just south of the headshunt for the siding was the site of Knowle Halt (opemed 1907 to serve the adjacent hospital, closed 1964). This was apparently serviced by a set of steps descending from the access road to the gasworks, which of course itself depends from Mayles Lane, but the site of the Halt (which had a concrete platform) does not seem to be visible from any publicly accessible place."
