One of the houseboats that line the Shoreham Beach side of the River Adur. They are the last reminder of the original Edwardian Bohemian lifestyle of the area, much of which was cleared during World War Two with only the houseboats remaining. Even then they faced long periods of conflict with the local council before the latter grudgingly accepted their existence. The boats all have official numbers and this one is 37 and is a former MTB currently undergoing repair. The boat beyond is number 36, Enstone.
