Shrewsbury School Boathouses

The Shrewsbury School Boathouses sit on the bank of the River Severn at Kingsland, a short walk from the main school buildings in Shrewsbury, Shropshire.

They serve as the base for the Royal Shrewsbury School Boat Club (RSSBC), founded in 1866 and affiliated with British Rowing.

Crews train on a meandering seven-kilometre stretch of the Severn — the longest river in Britain — making it a well-regarded venue for competitive rowing.

The boathouse accommodates a substantial fleet that includes handbuilt wooden boats crafted by a former school boatman alongside modern Empacher and Hudson racing shells.

With over 200 pupils active in the sport and 14 Henley Royal Regatta wins to its name, Shrewsbury is recognised as one of the leading rowing schools in the country.
