Lyndhurst, founded the Sunny South Film Company, which made its first commercial movie on Shoreham Beach in 1912 and built a film studio there. Ĭonverted railway carriages became summer homes around the start of the 20th century, and 'Bungalow Town', as it was then known, became home to the early British film industry. Once the harbour mouth was stabilised it was defended by Shoreham Fort which was built in 1857. In 1816, work had been completed to fix the position of the river in its present position, flowing into the sea between two piers. During the 17th and 18th centuries, the mouth of the river shifted eastwards which restricted trade to the port by 1810 it was almost opposite Aldrington church. This blocks the southerly flow of the River Adur which turns east at this point to discharge into the English Channel further along the coast at a point that has varied considerably over time. Shoreham Beach, to the south of the town, is a shingle spit deposited over millennia by longshore drift. The area became an urban district, with Shoreham Town Hall as its headquarters, in 1910. Shoreham Harbour remains in commercial operation today. The rapid growth of the neighbouring towns of Brighton, Hove and Worthing – and in particular the arrival of the railway in 1840 – prepared the way for Shoreham's rise as a Victorian sea port, with several shipyards and an active coasting trade.

Īn 18th century naval chartist and artist, Captain Henry Roberts, who was once a lieutenant under Captain Cook was a native of Shoreham. Muslim scholar Muhammad al-Idrisi, writing c.1153, described Shoreham as 'a fine and cultivated city containing buildings and flourishing activity'. The present church is approximately half the size of the original structure – the former nave was already in ruins by the time of the civil war although sizeable remnants of the original west façade survive in the churchyard to this day. St Mary de Haura Church (St Mary of the Haven) was built in the decade following 1103 (the Domesday Book was dated 1086), and around this time the town was laid out on a grid pattern that, in essence, still survives in the town centre. The town and port of New Shoreham was established by the Norman conquerors towards the end of the 11th century. The name of the town has an Old English origin. St Nicolas' Church, inland by the River Adur, is partly Anglo-Saxon in its construction. Old Shoreham dates back to pre-Roman times.
