Boats Everywhere! * - a photo on Flickriver

            Bosham in West Sussex has a long history dating back to Roman times when ships brought goods here for onward transfer to the city of Chichester a few miles inland. In the early middle ages it is believed King Canute had a royal palace at Bosham. There is certainly a connection with him recorded in the local Church in the form a plaque confirming the death of one of his daughters age 8 years. Her name is not mentioned but it is believed she drowned the nearby millpond early in the 11th century.

Today the village is used by tourists wishing to enjoy the lovely Chichester Harbour coastline and/or leisure sailing, hence the boats!

The black building on the end of the quay is a grade 2 listed structure dating from the 18th century and originally known as the Raptackle. It was built as a warehouse and sits on brick pillars to hold it clear of the water level.
