More about this scene
P G Wodehouse lived in Emsworth between 1904 and 1913, and based many of his locations and characters on local places and people. With its attractive jumble of streets, lanes and alleys and its colourful, yacht-filled harbour, this is very much a seafaring town. On the left is the imposing Crown Hotel.
