Emsworth history
Early Emsworth
Emsworth began as a Saxon village. At first it was linked to the settlement of Warblington nearby. People from Emsworth worshipped at St Peter’s Chapel or in the church at Warblington.
18th and 19th centuries
Emsworth was known for shipbuilding, boat building and rope making. Grain from the area was ground into flour by tidal mills and transported by ship to places such as London and Portsmouth. Queen Victoria visited the town in 1842, resulting in Queen Street and Victoria Road being named after her. The River Ems flows into the Slipper millpond and is now used as offices.
Modern Emsworth
By 1901 the population of Emsworth was about 2,000. It grew rapidly during the 20th century to about 5,000 by the middle of the century. In 1902 the oyster industry went into rapid decline after guests at mayoral banquets in Southampton and Winchester became seriously ill and four died after consuming oysters. During the Second World War, nearby Thorney Island was used as a Royal Air Force station.
