Emsworth
Emsworth is a town in Hampshire on the south coast of England, near the border of West Sussex. It lies at the north side 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 commonly assumed, the town being named after the river, flows into the Slipper millpond. The mill itself is now used as office spaces. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent resident population of around 9492 people. Emsworth progressed rather quickly during the 20th century, reaching a population of about 5000 by the middle of the century after having around 2000 homeowners in the 19th century. The 1000th house in Emsworth was constructed in 1953. In the 1960s, substantial parts of the region were developed with a mix of bungalow and terraced housing. In 1906, development 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 current home of Emsworth Cricket Club, which was founded 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 bars and beer houses. The village has a basin for modest sailboats and fishing boats, which fills at high tide and can be emptied through a sluice at low tide. For all your home refurbishments, make sure to identify respected professionals in Emsworth to make certain of quality.
