Seaton Sluice Harbour Houseboat
A Memory of Seaton Sluice.
I was born in Newsham in 1949 and lived in The Oval till I joined the RAF In 1967. My father Edward used to take me to Seaton Sluice to visit family when a youngster aged about 6 yrs old. He pointed out to me that the old houseboat in the harbour shown in the photo taken in 1955 was where he was born and lived as a youngster himself. The 1901 census when my father was aged 4 yrs old showed that the harbour ‘street’ was called ‘Gutside’ and my father lived there with his parents and sister. Not sure when the houseboat was finally removed but 1955 photograph is around the time my father told me that the houseboat used to be his home and 1901 census confirms this.
