Old Boggy Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 The notice is a bit of an understatement but who can tell me where it is? OB Another shot in the other direction This is how the residents have to protect their property at spring tide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centrepin Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 Is it Beach lane or Beach road or something similar on the N Norfolk coast, somewhere between Blakeney and Sheringham? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted March 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 No not Norfolk. Sandpiper is close but not close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpmilo Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) Bosham, just west of Chicheter West Sussex. Quite a few cars are water logged each year after parking off the road way that floods every high tide. Even worse on a spring tide and a south westerly. I live 2 minutes away.

As you are local, is it pronounced ‘Bosham’ as spelt or as I think I heard a Local refer to it as ‘Bossam’? OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpmilo Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) Bos ham is correct, which confuses people as not far away in Hampshire is Cosham, which is pronounced Cosh am. Bosham is a lovely place for a walk if you are visiting Chichester / Goodwood / West Dean, but check on the tide or even better park in the pay and display car park. There used to be a wall of shame with all the photos of flooded cars in the local pub. The Anchor Bleu.

Saw lots of curlew in Langstone harbour at low tide which are quite a rarity in my part of Kent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know ive not walked Langstone for ages, I must do that. 1 minute ago, Yellow Bear said: When I lived on the Island as a youngster it was referred to phonetically as Cos um and Bos um I know a fair few Hampshire lads that still pronounce it that way. My sister lives in Emsworth and her husband pronounces it that way, but she calls them as above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I last walked the harbour about 5 years ago at the Pompey end, sadly it was no where near the place I remembered. Farlington Marshes had disappeared under roads and buildings.

Farlington Marshes had disappeared under roads and buildings. Happening everywhere around here, Chichester to Emsworth are now near enough joined. A lot of the building on farmland and old country walks. So many houses going along the old A27. Heard not so long ago they have released another block of land around Farlington area for more houses.
