Hampton Ferry (River Avon)
The Hampton Ferry is a pedestrian chain ferry linking Evesham and the district of Hampton across the River Avon in the English county of Worcestershire. The route dates back to the 13th century, when it was established by monks. The ferry is manually operated by pulling on a cable that is suspended across the river. When the ferry is docked at either bank the cable is allowed to sink to the river bottom, so as not to interfere with navigation.

Bengeworth railway station
Bengeworth railway station was a station on the Midland Railway between Tewkesbury and Evesham. The precise location of the station was not in the Evesham suburb of Bengeworth itself, but 2 miles away in Hampton. The station was named Bengeworth in order to avoid confusion over other stations in the area that also included Hampton in their names. Following the closure of the line in 1963 some of the land between Hinton on the Green and south of Bengeworth station was given over to housing.
