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 end 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 village and not, as is commonly believed, the town being named after the river, flows into the Slipper millpond. The mill itself is now used as offices. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent resident population of around 9492 people. Emsworth expanded dramatically throughout 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 developed in 1953. In the 1960s, substantial parts of the area were developed with a mix of bungalow and terraced housing. In 1906, development started 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 home of Emsworth Cricket Club, which was founded in 1811 and enjoyed its Bicentennial in 2011. It was signified with a Grand Match against the MCC. Cricket in Emsworth has been played at the very 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 small luxury yachts and fishing boats, which fills at high tide and can be emptied through a sluice at low tide. For all your home refurbishments, be sure to identify reliable professionals in Emsworth to make certain of quality.
