Itchy Bosom Ferry

In the boatyard at Bosham today - the Itchenor ferry . Fondly known as the Itchy Bosom Ferry, it plies from Itchenor jetty to Smugglers Lane Hard, Bosham during May to September, linking public footpaths. There has been a ferry on the Smugglers Lane Hard site for 400 years, saving a road trip of 13 miles around the harbour.

Bring tea for the tillerman,
steak for the sun
Wine for the women
who made the rain come
Seagulls sing your hearts away
'Cause while the sinners sin,
the children play

Oh Lord, how they play and play
For that happy day, for that happy day

Tea for the Tillerman
