Around 1900 Sandeman[clarification needed] set out to extend a road out to the ferrypoint for the Hayling Island Steamboat enterprise.
[1][2][3] The Ferry Point is at the westernmost tip of Hayling Island in Hampshire, England, overlooking the fast tides of Langstone Harbour entrance.
A fork to the left leads past the base of the Langstone Harbour Master to the jetty for the passenger ferry to Eastney in Portsmouth.
[citation needed] Sinah Warren is the area to north of Ferry Road where the Holiday Camp is located.
Proposals to change this into a commercial port or marina foundered or were thwarted, and the area is now a designated nature reserve with a handful of houseboats permitted.
The original Norfolk Inn was present before 1776, built to the east of The Kench on the north side of the ferry point.
The establishment is no longer a freehouse, having been sold to Stonegate Pub Company, and is variously branded "Ferryboat" both with and without a space.
[12] In March 2015, the service shut down when the Hayling Island Ferry company went into administration after safety problems and repeated fines for carrying too many passengers at once.
[15] Back in 2018 Havant Borough Council realised a long-held ambition for a connecting bus, coming up with £20,000 to fund a six-month trial of a Monday to Friday peak hour bus (numbered 149 – for nostalgic reasons – operated by Portsmouth City Coaches) to perform a circuit of Hayling Island before connecting to the ferry, while on the other side First Solent extended their route 15 from its Eastney terminus in Fort Cumberland Road about half a mile on to the turning circle close to the ferry's landing stage.
