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 large and shallow inlet from the English Channel. Adjacent to Emsworth is Thorney Island. The River Ems, which is named after the town and not, as is typically believed, the town being named after the river, flows into the Slipper millpond. The mill itself is now made use of as offices. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent resident population of around 9492 people. Emsworth expanded rather quickly through the 20th century, reaching a population of about 5000 by the middle of the century after having around 2000 locals in the 19th century. The 1000th house in Emsworth was built in 1953. In the 1960s, large parts of the area were developed with a mix of bungalow and terraced housing. In 1906, construction started on the post office, with regional cricketer George Wilder laying an etched brick. The renamed Emsworth Recreation Ground dates from 1909 and is the current home of Emsworth Cricket Club, which was founded in 1811 and celebrated its Bicentennial in 2011. It was marked with a Grand Match against the MCC. Cricket in Emsworth has actually been played at the very 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 small private yachts and fishing boats, which fills at high tide and can be drained through a sluice at low tide.
