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]
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 the old Fremantle Prison, two of Fremantle's landmarks.
