Emsworth
Emsworth is a modest town in Hampshire on the south coast of England, near the border of West Sussex. It lies at the north edge of an arm of Chichester Harbour, a sizeable and shallow inlet from the English Channel. Adjacent to Emsworth is Thorney Island. The River Ems, which is named after the village and not, as is generally thought, the town being named after the river, passes into the Slipper millpond. The mill itself is now used as offices. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent resident population of around 9492 people. Emsworth developed quickly during the course of the 20th century, reaching a population of about 5000 by the middle of the century after having around 2000 citizens in the 19th century. The 1000th house in Emsworth was built in 1953. In the 1960s, substantial parts of the region were developed with a mix of bungalow and terraced housing. In 1906, building and construction began on the post office, with local cricketer George Wilder laying an inscribed brick. The renamed Emsworth Recreation Ground dates from 1909 and is the present home of Emsworth Cricket Club, which was started in 1811 and enjoyed its Bicentennial in 2011. It was marked with a Grand Match versus the MCC. Cricket in Emsworth has been played at the same ground, Cold Harbour Lawn, ever since 1761. In the 19th century, the town had as many as 30 clubs and beer houses. The village has a basin for modest luxury yachts and fishing boats, which fills at high tide and can be cleared through a sluice at low tide. For all of your home developments, be sure to identify respected contractors in Emsworth to make certain of quality.
