Fire Safety Services in Tinkers Cross
Tinkers Cross is a small hamlet and crossroads located just to the north of Fordingbridge in the New Forest District of Hampshire. Forming part of the rural landscape, it lies at the junction of Whitsbury Road and Fryern Court Road, surrounded by open countryside, woodland, and farmland. The hamlet is named for the historic crossroads and adjacent informal green space that punctuate this tranquil area on the edge of the New Forest.
Transport in Tinkers Cross is predominantly road-based. There is no railway station, with the nearest access via Fordingbridge or Salisbury stations. The A338 corridor lies a short distance away, offering routes north towards Salisbury and south towards Bournemouth. Local lanes connect residents and businesses to Fordingbridge village, Burgate School, and the wider rural parish.
The local economy is low-key and largely agricultural, with a scattering of farms, horticultural businesses, and equestrian enterprises. Residential dwellings are limited in number, and the hamlet’s main activity revolves around the surrounding farmland. A recent planning application for up to 64 new homes indicates potential evolution from a purely rural crossroads to a small residential cluster in the future.
Nearby communities include Fordingbridge (just over a mile south), Burgate, Hyde, Sandleheath, and Rockbourne—all within close reach. Its position close to the New Forest makes it ideal for tradespeople, rural service providers, small equine operations, and countryside-based businesses looking to remain connected to Fordingbridge, Salisbury, and the broader region.
ESI supports agricultural, equestrian, workshop, and small enterprise operators in and around Tinkers Cross with electrical and fire safety services. Our certified engineers carry out fixed-wire testing, emergency-lighting checks, fire-alarm servicing, and compliance audits tailored to rural settings. We help ensure your premises—whether farmsteads, small barns, or rural workshops—stay safe, compliant, and ready for evolving uses.
Since 1982 Fordingbridge has been twinned with Vimoutiers in Normandy, France.
