The 1000th house in Emsworth was built in 1953. In the 1960s, large parts of the region were developed with a mix of bungalow and terraced housing. In 1906, building began on the post office, with regional cricketer George Wilder laying an inscribed brick. The renamed Emsworth Recreation Ground dates from 1909 and is the present-day home of Emsworth Cricket Club, which was established in 1811 and enjoyed its Bicentennial in 2011.
