Hampton Road is the main road entering the City of Fremantle from the south. It is named after John Stephen Hampton, the Governor of Western Australia from 1862 to 1868. [1] It continues into Ord Street at the north east corner of Fremantle Prison at Knutsford Street.
Heritage buildings and operations in historical properties occur along the length of the road; they include the Fremantle Children's Literature Centre, [2] Hampton Road reserve, [3] Bundi Kudja, [4] and St Pauls Anglican Church in Beaconsfield. [5] [6]
At the Cockburn Road and Rockingham Road intersection, which forms the southern terminus of the road, traffic bound for Fremantle arrives from Spearwood and Kwinana further south, and is brought through a high-density residential area, and past Fremantle Hospital and Fremantle Prison, two of Fremantle's landmarks.
All intersections below are controlled by traffic signals unless otherwise indicated.
