Thorney Island Circular - Clockwise – 10 Miles (Start Point SU748063) Parking in Emsworth Thorney Island Circular - Clockwise – 10 miles (Start point SU748063) Parking in Emsworth Jutting out into Chichester harbour, Thorney Island was used as an R.A.F. Station until 1976. It has thus remained remote and free from commercial development. The southern part of the island is still MOD property but pedestrian access is allowed on the perimeter path. This shoreline path offers fine views over the harbour and the vast number of sea birds which congregate there. The county boundary between Hampshire and West Sussex runs along the centre of the channel between Thorney Island and Hayling Island. Choose a fine day if you can for this section as it can be exposed on the island. The walk starts at Emsworth Station (SU748063). Walk away from the station buildings half left to reach the main road. Cross the road and turn right along North Street for approx. 40 yds and then turn left down Seagull Lane. Keep ahead to the end of the road and turn left onto an enclosed path. Go under the railway bridge and through a gap at a gate and at the fenced Lumley Path Gas Valve installation turn right onto an enclosed path. Follow the path over a footbridge crossing a stream to reach a road (Lumley road). Turn right along the road, passing under a railway bridge, for approx. ½ mile to reach a T-junction at the A259. , Cross the road and turn left to find Slipper Road approx. 75 yards on the right. Walk south away from the A259 down Slipper Road with Slipper Mill Pond on the right to reach Slipper Mill (originally a tide mill, now converted into apartment) on the right. Go ahead through a gap in the boundary fence and through the boatyard, keeping the Marina basins immediately on the right and passing a cafe and boathouses on the left. Shortly after passing the café, turn right and continue passing deckhouses on the right to the Marina access road. (Note that it is at this point that the clockwise circuit of the island you are following diverges from the anti-clockwise circuit, which turns to the right at this point.) Continue straight ahead with trees on the left and more 'deckhouses' on stilts on the right. In about 150 yards, just before end of deckhouses, look for a stile on the left and a signed path. Take this path across the middle of the field to reach the road. Take narrow enclosed path opposite which opens out into a field. Go ahead in the same direction to reach Thornham House. Continue eastwards on access drive to tarmac drive, passing between two brick pillars and in 200 yards, where the lane from Prinsted joins, turn right on the footpath along edge of water (Chichester Harbour). Pass straight through Marina area on narrow ‘gangway’ bridges and then continue ahead over a substantial footbridge to reach Prinsted Point (bench seat). Follow path on top of bank to reach the MOD gate. Press the button and give details as requested and the gate will be opened to provide access to the continuation of path. Follow the path on top of the seawall, passing round Stanbury Point. At the slipway at the yachting area, use steps up wall to reach the churchyard of West Thorney church. Follow tarmac path through churchyard towards the Yacht Club premises. In front of the Yacht Club, turn right on the road for 30 yards, then left to regain the path on the seawall. After a narrow section, continue ahead on an easy path and pass through a ‘bushy’ area. At end of bushes, when the southern tip of the island is in sight ahead, bear right with path and continue on the bank to reach a lookout point/hide ahead. Even at high tide, there is a little beach here and this makes a delightful spot for a picnic stop, with lovely views of Chichester Harbour and Hayling Island. Continue on the path, which soon becomes a gravel track, along the south-west edge of the island. Where the track forks, keep left on a lesser path to stay in the bushy area, close to the water’s edge. Emerge from the bushy area onto a grassy patch with seats (another fine spot for a rest!) and then follow the grassy edge to Marker Point. Follow the path as it swings sharp right around the point with Hayling Island across the water to the left. Stay with this delightful path as it tracks around the edge of three bays, with scrubby pasture on the landward side, finally reaching a wooden kissing gate. Beyond the gate, come to another MOD gate – repeat the earlier procedure and you will be ‘let out’ – hopefully! Carry on atop a high bank, with the Great Deep, which makes Thorney Island an island, to the right, to reach the deckhouses again – pass in front of them to arrive at Emsworth Yacht Harbour. Go through the gate and turn right to follow the shingle car park area. Pass the end of two Marina basins and then turn left about 30 yards before reaching the outward path. Pass in front of more deckhouses, then to the left of the boatyard buildings. Go ahead (possibly passing under a giant mobile boat lift) to a gap in the boundary fence ahead. Continue ahead to pass the Slipper Mill on the left and continue ahead along Slipper Road to reach the A259. Cross the road and turn left for approx. 40 yds and then turn right along Lumley Road on the east bank of Emsworth Creek. Where this road becomes a private drive at 'Lumley Millhouse', turn left over footbridge crossing a stream and continue on the enclosed path. At a T-junction by the Gas valve installation turn left along a path, passing through a gap at a gate and under the railway bridge to reach a road (Seagull Lane). Turn right along the road to reach a cross roads. Turn right along North Street for approx. 40 yds and cross over the road and take the access road to arrive at Emsworth Station. .

Being aligned north-south, it crosses all the main geologies of West Sussex from the greensand ridges, through Wealden river valleys and heathlands, to the high chalk downland and the coastal plain. In so doing it offers a great variety of scenery, flora and fauna. The trail logo reflects this by depicting the South Downs, the River Rother and Chichester Harbour. It can be walked energetically in three days, bearing in mind that the total ‘climb’ is around 650 metres/2,000 feet. The maps divide it into six sections, which although unequal in distance, break the route into stages that allow the possible use of public transport. There is a good choice of accommodation and restaurants in Liphook, Midhurst and Chichester, elsewhere there is a smattering of pubs and B&Bs – although the northern section is a little sparse in that respect.

  • Midhurst Sense of Place
    Midhurst Sense of Place Produced as part of the Midhurst Vision by the Sense of Place Working Group September 2009 Cover image courtesy of Michael Chevis www.michaelchevis.com Contents 5 Foreword 6 Introduction 9 Context 12 Sense of Place Aims 13 Sense of Place Process 15 Activity 17 Physical Setting 20 Meaning 23 Sense of Place Definition 26 Place Making 31 Place Reading 36 Place Marketing 38 Potential Actions and Projects 39 Next Steps 40 Summary 42 Acknowledgements 43 Appendix 44 Key Design Principles 50 Terms of Reference 5 Foreword Like may towns throughout the UK, Midhurst has a range of unique qualities. Yet as a result of social and economic change it faces competition from neighbouring destinations like Chichester, Petersfield, Haselmere and Guildford. Chichester District Council recognised this problem and through a series of projects (aimed at supporting the local economy), engaged with the community to help identify key areas of development and regeneration. Whilst residents may have strong emotional links to their town or village, it is becoming increasingly important to understand and reveal the innate qualities and character of a place to attract visitors and compete with other towns in their region. However, it may be difficult to express what defines a ‘place’, but it is important to do so, to ensure that any support given by way of physical improvement or economic development, is appropriate and does not lead to the loss of individuality and regional identity. Understanding that Midhurst’s future prosperity is dependent on finding a way to manage change whilst maintaining a genuine and authentic sense of place, it became clear that a process was required to capture and articulate these unique aspects to help develop plans for the future.

    A History of Chichester . Written on the occasion of our 250th Anniversary 1727 -1977 CONTENTS Preface. .. 5 The Establishment of Chichester. .. 7 Original Gran t . .. 8 Early Beginnings. .. 10 The Settlement of Chichester. .. 22 The Churches. .. 58 The Schools. .. 67 Old Home Day Celebrations. .. 80 Organizations. .. 87 Town Services. 102 Town Cemeteries. 115 Wars and Veterans. .. 118 3 PREFACE Our committee was formed to put into print some account of our town's history to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the granting of the original charter of our town. The committee has met over the past year and one-half and a large part of the data was obtained from the abstracts of the town records which were kept by Augustus Leavitt, Harry S. Kelley's history notes written in 1927 for the 200th anniversary and from the only sizable printed history of Chichester written by D. T. Brown in Hurd's History of Merrimack and Belknap Counties containing thirty seven pages. In researching we found that a whole generation is missing. It is regrettable that a history wasn't done before now when much that is now lost was within the mem- ory of some living who had the knowledge of our early history. Our thanks to the townspeople who have contributed either information, pic- tures, maps and written reports. It is our hope that the contents will be interesting and helpful to this and future generations. The Chichester History Committee Rev. H. Franklin Parker June E. Hatch Ruth E. Hammen 5 THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CHICHESTER Chichester was one of seven towns granted in New Hampshire in 1727 while Lieutenant Governor John Wentworth administered the affairs of the province, then a part of Massachusetts.

  • The Real Natives
    ‘Real Natives’ A Study of the History of Oyster Fishing in Chichester Harbour for the Sussex Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority Dr Ian Friel MA, PhD, FSA © Ian Friel 2020 Oysters - a once-common food Poor food for friars ‘Give me then of thy gold, to make our cloister’, Quoth he, ‘for many a mussel and many an oyster ‘When other men have been full well at ease ‘Hath been our food, our cloister for to raise’ Geoffrey Chaucer, The Summoner’s Tale, c 1387-88 A Chichester bet In 1813 a man named Martin from Dell Quay Mill and another named Fogden from Donnington met at Chalkright’s fishmonger shop in South Street, Chichester, to settle a bet as to who could eat the most oysters: ‘in a short time each swallowed four hundred large ones’ until Martin called for a halt. Fogden agreed, as long as Martin paid for the oysters. They then went to the King’s Head for a glass of brandy, followed by an eel pie supper at Martin’s house. Ipswich Journal, 11 December 1813, p 1 The London Oyster Season opens: Billingsgate Fishmarket, August 1835: ‘At an early hour a scene of unusual bustle and confusion was apparent. Not less than 5,000 persons were in waiting to be served with the ‘real natives’, while the streets in the vicinity were blocked up with every species of locomotive vehicle to convey the oysters to the various quarters of the metropolis. There were no less than fifty sail of vessels in front of Billingsgate laden with oysters, chiefly from the Kentish coast.
