Redlands Lane

Street guide, Emsworth

Redlands Lane runs through the New Brighton area of Emsworth, connecting the residential streets to the north of the town. The lane takes its name from the reddish soil that characterises parts of the coastal plain in this area. Housing along Redlands Lane is a mix of inter-war and post-war development, with semi-detached houses and bungalows forming the majority of the stock. The lane has a quiet, suburban character and carries mainly local traffic. It is within walking distance of the town centre, the railway station, and the Horndean Road area. Redlands Lane provides affordable housing by Emsworth standards, attracting families and retirees who want to be in the town without paying the premium associated with the more central or waterfront locations.
