The history portal for Shoreham-by-Sea, Sussex, England
In a forum post concerning the Kingston Bridge there was mention of a concrete ship used for storage. I checked back on old posts and photographs and found this that shows a ship shape on the ground alongside the Brighton Road.
The majority of these articles are gathered from the Sussex Advertiser but that newspaper ceased publication in the 1870’s and the British Library’s archives do not yet have a suitable replacement newspaper that covers Shoreham matters sufficiently. The West Sussex Library Service does however have microfilm copies of complete West Sussex Gazette issues from 1860 so 1859 seems to be a logical point at which to terminate this project
