Bosham, West Sussex

A view across part of Chichester Harbour looking towards the town of Bosham (pronouced "Bozzum"), taken on a cloudy day last month.

Bosham is famous locally for the sometimes comical mishaps of visitors who decide to park by the shore at low tide, only to return and find their car floating away or at the least submerged under the water.

Please view large for best effect.

If you're interested there is a fascinating history of Bosham here: www.britainexpress.com/attractions.htm?attraction=3123

Interesting place. Your comment shows that it is wise to know a bit about the place prior to going there. It must be fascinating to live in a place with so much ancient history. That's somethiing we lack over here.

Thanks for your kind comments about this photo Güni.........I'm pleased you like it............and the story about car parking ;-))

Bosham is also said to be the place where King Canute tried to turn back the tide. Also his daughter drowned in the local mill stream and you can see her memorial stone in the church nearby, where she is buried.

Best wishes, Keith.
