The Town Quay conservation area was designated in 1975 to preserve and enhance the historic character of the older waterside settlement and the quaysides. These are a vital part of the history and character of the town, and an important reminder of the role that seaborne trade played in the growth and prosperity of Fareham. It was extended in 2005 to include a further area of open space at Western Parade and Bath Lane recreation ground. Upper Quay is situated at the northern end of the conservation area, beside the railway viaduct; it is a southward extension of the town on the line of Quay Street. Lower Quay, with its compact core of older buildings, lies to the south and was formerly a separate settlement. The two quays are now linked by a promenade, constructed when the Gosport Road was widened in 1982. The open space at Eastern Parade, to the south of Lower Quay, is also within the conservation area boundary, as is Bath Lane recreation ground to the north.
