About Shire Shop
Powered by Barrus, Shire Shop is the official destination for genuine spares, technical expertise, and lifelong support for the UK’s leading marine engines.
A Legacy of Engineering
The Shire engine range is a name synonymous with the UK’s inland waterways. Developed by Barrus, a company with over a century of engineering heritage, Shire engines are designed, tested, and distributed from our state-of-the-art facility in Oxfordshire.
Our engines are built to a bespoke specification, specifically tuned to meet the unique demands of narrowboats, wide-beams, and Dutch barges. When you choose a Shire, you aren't just buying an engine; you are investing in a tradition of smooth, quiet, and reliable power.
"Shire engines are engineered for life, and Shire Shop ensures they stay that way."
