More about this scene
Overlooking colourful Chichester Harbour, Itchenor lies at the confluence of the Bosham and Chichester channels of the estuary and was originally named Icenor. Between the 1600s and 1800s, the village played a vital role in the shipbuilding industry. Eventually, any trace of its previous prosperity became submerged beneath the houses and the harbour mud.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I am wondering if the child bending down and putting his wellies on is me, as I spent every minute I could of my childhood down on the shore, especially as dad's boatyard, Haines was right there. The picture reminds me of myself as I had a bobble hat and jacket exactly the same as the boy in the picure. I would have been 9 years old at the time.
My memories of Itchenor are as strong now as they were for all the time I lived there, which was from 1951 when I was born till 1971 when I was married. My family owned and ran Haines boatyard which is still there today but owned by the sailing club now. We lived at number 5 The Street and I spent most of my childhood along with my brother playing among the boats and along the shore. The pictures in this collection are amazing. I would love to know if there are any more.
