SHOREHAM-BYSEA

SHOREHAM-BY-SEA is a seaport, situated at the mouth of the river Adur, and has a junction station of the Horsham branch with the coast line of the London, Brighton and South Coast railway, 56½ miles from London, 6 west from. Brighton, 22 east from Chichester, 5 east from Worthing, in the Mid division of the county, Fishergate hundred, Brighton county court district, rape of Bramber, Steyning petty sessional division and union and in the rural deanery of Hove, archdeaconry of Lewes and diocese of Chichester. Shoreham returned two members to Parliament from 1 Edward I. (1272), but under the provisions of the “Redistribution of Seats Act, 1885″ (48 & 49 Vict. c. 23); the representation was merged into that of the county. New Shoreham adopted the “Local Government Act, 1858” 6 Dec. 1865, when a Local Board was formed; but under the “Local Government Act, 1894” (56 and 57 Vict. C. 73) the town is now governed by an Urban District Council of 15 members.

By a Local Government Board Order No. 54,313, which came into operation October 1st, 1910, parts of Lancing and Old Shoreham were added to the Urban District, which was renamed Shoreham-by-Sea; the district comprises that town and Kingston-by-Sea, and has been divided into North, South, Marine and Kingston-by-Sea Wards.

The town is lighted with gas conveyed from Hove, and is supplied with water by the Brighton Corporation, from works at Old Shoreham, where there are two reservoirs, the higher one capable of holding 80,000 gallons and the lower 90,000. An elegant suspension bridge, carrying the road to Worthing over the river Adur, was erected in 1832 by the Duke of Norfolk. Old Shoreham, on the eastern bank of this river, once a place of some importance, is half a mile north of Shoreham-by-Sea.

Ella, the first king of the South Saxons, landed here to complete the conquest of England, and Charles II made his escape from Shoreham to Fecamp after the battle of Worcester. A battery (No. 12) is placed at the mouth of the river. By an Order dated August 9th, 1881, the limits of the port were defined as commencing at the eastern part of Rottingdean, being the western boundary of the port of Newhaven, and extending along the coast of Sussex in a westerly direction to the western part of Heene, that being the eastern boundary of the port of Littlehampton.

The trade of the port is chiefly in coals, corn, general cargo, timber and cement, and yacht building is also carried on.

In 1913 the total value of the imports was £58,776, the principal articles being sawn wood, £36,200. The exports amounted to only £3,920.

The number of sailing and steam vessels with cargoes and in ballast that arrived at the port from British Possessions and foreign countries was 94 of 18,269 tons; the number that departed being 99 of 17,104 tonnage.

In the general coasting trade 706 sailing and steam vessels entered with cargoes and in ballast of 127,214 tons and 684 cleared of 126,002 tonnage.

The number of sailing and steam vessels registered under Part I. of the “Merchant Shipping Act, 1894,” on Dec. 31, 1913, was 73 of 3,160 tons. Under Part IV. of the same Act, at the same date, 184 fishing boats were registered of 854 tonnage, requiring 397 men and boys to work them. Fishing boats and their implements are distinguished by the letters S. M.

The church of St. Mary the Virgin is part only of an ancient and beautiful cruciform structure of flint and stone, of which nearly the whole of the nave has been destroyed, but the existing portion is an extremely interesting example of Transitional Norman work, including a tower containing a clock, presented by the Rev. R. P. Hooper, and 8 bells: the eastern windows and others are stained, and there are brasses with effigies: the church was repaired in 1876, and in 1896 the tower was restored and 4 of the bells re-cast at a cost of upwards of £2,000, and in December, 1904, a new stone pulpit was provided: the church affords 600 sittings. The register dates from the year 1566. The living is a vicarage, re-united in 1897 to that of St. Nicholas, joint net yearly value £460, with residence, in the gift of Magdalen College, Oxford, and held since 1894 by the Rev. Charles Marsh Ainslie Tower M.A. of that college.

The church of St. Nicholas is of stone, being of Norman date, and it comprises a tower containing one bell: there is a brass to Capt. Richard Poole, 1652, and to Thomas, his son, 1652: the east window and others are stained, and there are screens of carved oak: the church was repaired in 1845, and affords 200 sittings. The register dates from the year 1723.

The Catholic Church, dedicated to St. Peter, is of flint with stone dressings, in the Gothic style of the 13th century, and was opened in 1875, at a total cost of about £5,000: there are 200 sittings; the Presbytery adjoining was completed in 1877.

There is a chapel for the Countess of Huntingdon’s Connexion, founded in 1800, with 300 sittings, a Baptist chapel, erected in 1870 and seating 350 persons, and Wesleyan, Primitive Methodist, Particular Baptist chapels and a Salvation Army Hall.

The Town hall, formerly the Custom House, was leased to the Local Board, now the Urban District Council, in 1890.

The Children’s Homes are in Ham road.

A cemetery of nearly 2 acres in extent was formed in 1887, at a cost of about £2,000, and is under the control of the Urban District Council, acting as the burial board.

The Duke of Norfolk K.G., G.C.V.O., P.C. is lord of the manor. Lieut. -Col. Harry Colvill Bridger is the principal landowner, and there are several small owners.

The area of Shoreham-by-Sea civil parish is 782 acres of land, 1 of water, 19 of tidal water and 97 of foreshore ; rateable value, £23,967; the population in 1911 was 4,562, including 175 inmates and 13 officials in Steyning Poor Law Institution Schools.

The area of Shoreham-on-Sea Urban District is 1,695 acres; rateable value, £31,192; the population in 1901 was 4,665, and in 1911, 5,731, viz. Shoreham-by-Sea, 4,562 and Kingston-by-Sea, 1,169.

The population of the ecclesiastical parishes in 1911 was: St. Nicholas, 769; St. Mary, 3,629.

The area of Old Shoreham civil parish is 1,382 acres of land and 21 of tidal water; rateable value, £1,852; the population in 1911 was 56.

  1. I am looking for information on Humphreys Gap Humphreys Terrace, and KingstonTerrace in
    1909 to 1921 For Humpreys and Goodyear Have you any information on on any of these or
    where i can find it.
    Thank you

    1. Hi Sue – have a look thorough our directories. From a quick check I see Humphreys Terrace, Humphreys Villas and Kingston Terrace are shown on page 1013 in the 1917 directory and include William Humphrey. The other directories between 1909 and 1921 are in residents’ names order but include the street names next to them.
      I remember writing about the history of Humphreys Gap and the article ‘Mills, Millers and Millwrights’ http://www.shorehambysea.com/mills-millers-millwrights/ may be of interest as part of it shows how it originated and the Humphreys association with the Holloways of Shoreham.
      Hope that helps

  2. Hi,
    I’m looking for records of North Cottage in North Street and in particular William Tutt who might have lived there in 1915/16, opposite what was the Beehive Public House. Do you have any information or suggest where I might look. I have been through the census records with some success but North Cottage is not named.
    Thank you

    1. Me again Jacqui, we’ve already swapped comments on this elsewhere of course. You’ll know that the census returns were rarely taken using the same route from census to census, that where numbering is shown it may have changed anyway and that property names changed too or weren’t named at all. Another point is that the returns were taken at one particular moment in time and any resident shown there may only have been living there for the night (if so it is sometimes mentioned as such but not always) or just a few days.
      I’ve had a quick look and, for the 1891 census find a William Tutt aged 71 in the work house and a James Tutt, a gardner, aged 66 in Middle Street. I can only see a Walter Palmer at North Cottage in 1917.
      Sorry if you already know all this.

  3. Hi, I am looking for more detailed info (for a history project) on the original house Longcroft in Southdown Road, which was demolished in 1973 (think I have the date right). It was apparently built for one of Shoreham’s shipbuilders, James Britton Bailey, but did go through a few metamorphoses in it’s life. It has been a girl’s school, a convent, a market garden, I believe a doctor’s house, and had Canadians billited there too. It was, in its last life, converted into 8 flats, and in the late 60’s early 70’s I lived in one of the ground floor flats. At that time I think it was owned by the Loader family? A Miss Atherton lived on the first floor.

    1. It seems you know more about the history of Longcroft than others on Shorehambysea.com Sue. My knowledge of it is restricted to Balley’s ownership although there are a few photos of it on this website as you probably have seen anyway.
