Bridge Road

Street guide, Emsworth

Bridge Road runs through the Slipper Mill area, connecting the town to the southern parts of Emsworth near the harbour shore. The road crosses or runs near the outlet of Slipper Mill Pond, and the bridge from which it takes its name spans one of the watercourses that feed the tidal pond. The area around Bridge Road is residential, with a mix of older cottages and more modern housing. The proximity to Slipper Mill Pond gives the road a particular character, with the water and the associated birdlife providing a natural feature that is visible from several points along the road. Bridge Road connects to Slipper Road and the harbour shore path, making it a useful route for walkers heading to the waterfront or the Chichester Harbour footpaths.
