Emsworth has been my home all my life, as it was for my father before me (he was born in Waterside Cottages by the millpond in 1914), so I have a close affinity with Emsworth. The pictures in the galleries are my own. I hope you enjoy the content on these pages.

For more local history and other matters nostalgic, visit our local Museum over the fire station in North Street, open weekends and Bank Holidays from Easter to the end of October, plus Fridays during August. Opening times for Fridays, Saturdays and Bank Holidays are 10.30am to 4.30pm, Sundays 2.30 to 4.30pm. Website CLICK HERE
