The nostalgia that past houseboat owners feel for their floating homes has evoked all sorts of memories, some of which have already been recorded for the Archive. I am keen to include as many experiences as possible, so if you have information to add or stories to tell or photos to share, please get in touch by emailing us or by leaving your contact details at Benfleet Library. In the meantime I hope you enjoy this small selection of photos…..don’t forget to click on the pictures to increase their size.

I was born May 1953 and we lived on house boat Maureen in church creek, Benfleet. My mother was Dorathy Cripps and my father was Arthur King, my Nan Mrs Browne had a tea boat there and my Uncle Bill or Fred Payne used to ferry passengers back and forth to Southend pier.
