  • The Real Natives
    ‘Real Natives’ A Study of the History of Oyster Fishing in Chichester Harbour for the Sussex Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority Dr Ian Friel MA, PhD, FSA © Ian Friel 2020 Oysters - a once-common food Poor food for friars ‘Give me then of thy gold, to make our cloister’, Quoth he, ‘for many a mussel and many an oyster ‘When other men have been full well at ease ‘Hath been our food, our cloister for to raise’ Geoffrey Chaucer, The Summoner’s Tale, c 1387-88 A Chichester bet In 1813 a man named Martin from Dell Quay Mill and another named Fogden from Donnington met at Chalkright’s fishmonger shop in South Street, Chichester, to settle a bet as to who could eat the most oysters: ‘in a short time each swallowed four hundred large ones’ until Martin called for a halt. Fogden agreed, as long as Martin paid for the oysters. They then went to the King’s Head for a glass of brandy, followed by an eel pie supper at Martin’s house. Ipswich Journal, 11 December 1813, p 1 The London Oyster Season opens: Billingsgate Fishmarket, August 1835: ‘At an early hour a scene of unusual bustle and confusion was apparent. Not less than 5,000 persons were in waiting to be served with the ‘real natives’, while the streets in the vicinity were blocked up with every species of locomotive vehicle to convey the oysters to the various quarters of the metropolis. There were no less than fifty sail of vessels in front of Billingsgate laden with oysters, chiefly from the Kentish coast.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Location of the AONB The Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (the AONB) is located in the counties of West Sussex and Hampshire on the southern coast of England (Fig 1). The AONB forms an irregular area, its boundary following a number of roads and other features, including the harbour mouth, to enclose some 74 sq km. The western boundary of the AONB is marked by the B2179 through West Wittering, along the A286 to Dell Quay where the boundary continues north up Appledram Lane to meet the Chichester By Pass. The A259 constitutes the long northern boundary of the AONB. The boundary turns south down Bath Road, heading west along the coast to rejoin the A259, then turning south at Langstone and crossing the Langstone Bridge. The eastern boundary follows field boundaries and minor roads down the east coast of Hayling Island. The ‘corners’ of this irregular area are marked by the NGRs 472680 105845, 474475 97505, 484020 100890, and 484230 104605. The area encompasses a number of small picturesque harbour villages, including Itchenor, Dell Quay, Bosham, Bosham Hoe, Chidham, West Thorney and parts of West Wittering, Fishbourne, Nutbourne, and Prinsted, as well as the major ‘arms’ of Chichester Harbour itself – Emsworth Channel, Thorney Channel, Chichester Channel and Bosham Channel. It includes a broad range of landscapes and seascapes providing continuity from inland areas through marginal land and intertidal ranges to underwater sites in the channels. The Harbour is a recognised archaeological and historical resource as well as a valued natural environment. Status of the AONB The status of the AONB was designated by order on 7 July 1963, and this was confirmed by order on 4 February 1964.

  • Thorney Island Circular - Clockwise – 10 Miles (Start Point SU748063) Parking in Emsworth
    Thorney Island Circular - Clockwise – 10 miles (Start point SU748063) Parking in Emsworth Jutting out into Chichester harbour, Thorney Island was used as an R.A.F. Station until 1976. It has thus remained remote and free from commercial development. The southern part of the island is still MOD property but pedestrian access is allowed on the perimeter path. This shoreline path offers fine views over the harbour and the vast number of sea birds which congregate there. The county boundary between Hampshire and West Sussex runs along the centre of the channel between Thorney Island and Hayling Island. Choose a fine day if you can for this section as it can be exposed on the island. The walk starts at Emsworth Station (SU748063). Walk away from the station buildings half left to reach the main road. Cross the road and turn right along North Street for approx. 40 yds and then turn left down Seagull Lane. Keep ahead to the end of the road and turn left onto an enclosed path. Go under the railway bridge and through a gap at a gate and at the fenced Lumley Path Gas Valve installation turn right onto an enclosed path. Follow the path over a footbridge crossing a stream to reach a road (Lumley road). Turn right along the road, passing under a railway bridge, for approx. ½ mile to reach a T-junction at the A259. , Cross the road and turn left to find Slipper Road approx. 75 yards on the right. Walk south away from the A259 down Slipper Road with Slipper Mill Pond on the right to reach Slipper Mill (originally a tide mill, now converted into apartment) on the right.

  • West Thorney–Proposed Diversion of Part of Footpath(Fp) 202
    Highways Act 1980 S119: West Thorney–Proposed Diversion of Part of Footpath(fp) 202 Consultation Report Location – See Location Plan Footpath 202 runs around the shoreline of Thorney Island- much of which is Ministry of Defence (MOD) land. The 15 kilometre route around the Island forms part of the Sussex Border Path; it offers extensive views across Chichester Harbour and to Pilsey Island, a RSPB reserve off Longmere Point and the bird watchers hide at its southern tip. The southern and south western shores of Thorney Island are part of the Pilsey Sands area of registered Common Land. Please note that public access onto the Island (a Ministry of Defence base) by motor vehicle is not generally permitted. It is quite a long walk via the path to reach the length in question. However, if you do wish to inspect the proposal and would prefer to drive it is possible for you to access by car by prior arrangement with MOD. The person you should contact is: Tim Kenealy -Station Staff Officer - Station Staff Office - 01243 388356 / email: [email protected] Background and Reasons for the Application Much of the definitive line of fp 202 follows a well established track around the Island and is in reasonable condition for use. However, a length of approximately a kilometre running north westwards from Longmere Point has been badly affected by coastal erosion; some parts traverse the damaged sea defences to run on the sand and shingle beach or have been entirely lost to the sea. As the erosion has advanced a generally parallel but slightly further inland route has become established by walkers as an unofficial alternative path.

Contact Karen Dower, Planning Policy Manager Tel: 01243 521049; Email: [email protected] 2. Recommendation 2.1. That the responses of the parishes to the housing numbers consultation are given careful consideration. 3. Introduction 3.1. The consultation on parish housing numbers was produced as a step towards identifying a locally derived housing requirement to be incorporated into the Local Plan. 3.2. The appendices to this report present a summary of responses from the parishes that responded by 16 November 2012. 4. Background 4.1. The consultation ran from 27 September to 2 November 2012. Additional responses were received until 16 November 2012. 4.2 The purpose of the consultation was to seek the views of parish and town councils, key infrastructure providers, statutory agencies and neighbouring planning authorities about the amount of non-strategic housing to be provided in the parishes across the District over the Local Plan period to 2029. 4.3 The consultation included all parishes where Chichester District Council remains the Local Planning Authority. It also included parishes where the planning authority is split between Chichester District Council and the South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA), but where the main settlement(s) lie outside of the SDNPA’s boundary. Parishes not included in the consultation are coloured grey in Appendix 1. 4.4 To inform their responses, each parish council was sent a parish specific ‘key facts’ sheet, a general table indicating the proposed parish-wide distribution of housing, and other supporting information.

Acknowledgements Seldom is it possible to produce a publication such as this without the input of a team of volunteers, backed by organisations sympathetic to the subject-matter, and this report is no exception. The records which form the basis for this work were made by the dedicated fieldwork of the members of the Sussex Botanical Recording Society (SBRS), The Botanical Society of the British Isles (BSBI), the British Bryological Society (BBS), The British Lichen Society (BLS) and other keen enthusiasts. This data is held by the nominated County Recorders. The Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre (SxBRC) compiled the tables of the Sussex rare Bryophytes and Lichens. It is important to note that the many contributors to the text gave their time freely and with generosity to ensure this work was completed within a tight timescale. Many of the contributions were typed by Rita Hemsley. Special thanks must go to Alan Knapp for compiling and formatting all the computerised text.

  • St Nicholas, West Thorney Churchyard Regulations - Rev B
    St Nicholas, West Thorney Churchyard Regulations - Rev B Preface 1. These Regulations have been made pursuant to a faculty dated 1 September 2020 issued by the Chancellor of the Diocese of the Diocese of Chichester. They concern use of the churchyard of St Nicholas, West Thorney and apply to the Vicar of Southbourne, (and during interregna to the churchwardens) and to any visiting clergy including but not limited to army padres. 2. St Nicholas is a twelfth century church on Thorney Island, West Sussex. The military established an airfield in 1936, requiring most of the Thorney Island population to be relocated off the Island. RAF chaplains had the care of St Nicholas until the parish of West Thorney was merged with the Parish of Southbourne in 1980, following the closure of the RAF base in 1976. St Nicholas became a chapel of ease in 1980, whereupon the parishioners’ statutory right to burial was terminated. Grave spaces cannot be reserved. 3. Since 1980 Thorney Island has been the home of various units of Her Majesty’s Armed Forces, who control secure access to the island and thus to St Nicholas Church. Housing on Thorney Island is in married quarters, officers’ messes and junior ranks’ barracks, being supplemented by a small number of civilian properties. 4. St Nicholas is a Grade 1 listed building, whose upkeep is the responsibility of the Parochial Church Council of Southbourne with West Thorney in the Diocese of Chichester. As a chapel of ease, the church provides a spiritual centre for the Island community, where the army padre is customarily licensed to officiate.
