Shoreham Houseboats Archive
This site is an archive of information about the House Boats moored on the River Adur, in Shoreham, Sussex, UK.

Also, we've just added a Reading List of books which reference the Shoreham Houseboats.
New Additions
In the past few months we've seen a couple of new boats turn up. We'd like to welcome the barge currently known as 1404(U) and Ray and Julia's new barge!

Moorings by the Footbridge
Some time ago, there were a handful of boats moored on the South side of the Adur near the Footbridge. These moorings were (to my knowledge) unnumbered.
I do remember the name of One on the east Side. Rupippa (Spelling?) It was eventually burnt down as the authorities were not keen on the Occupants and their Drug habits. One Resident is a very famous Pop Singer/Idol but I had better keep his name quiet!
Lower Beach Road Moorings
These moorings are located behind the Waterside Pub (Ex Lady Jane).
