Emsworth, Hayling Island and Titchfield in 1838
Emsworth, a hamlet of the parish of Warblington, at the head of a channel which forms a branch of Chichester harbour, is a place of some trade as a port ; ship-building and rope-making are carried on.
Hayling Island is becoming a place of considerable resort for bathers, and numerous new buildings have been recently erected.
Titchfield, about two miles from Fareham, on the road to Southampton, is a place of some trade : it is on a small river, by which small vessels get up to the town. A customary market is held.
