Postcard of the Month: February 2022
/Littlehampton trip boats at Houghton Bridge
Postcards of these craft loading or departing Littlehampton were common during the 1920s and 1930s when most visitors to the town seem to have indulged in this activity. However, pictures of them at their destination are unusual. This card by an unidentified publisher shows three craft, the Nancy Lee, Lady Nancy and Britannia near the Bridge Inn. There is no date or text but it’s likely to be from the 1920s.
A carousel is visible in the background, possibly part of a travelling fair, so maybe this is the reason for the boat trip.
Please go to Littlehampton in Locations for more on Britannia and the Other Trip Boats page for more information. on the Nancy fleet.
