Such close proximity to the South Downs, river and coast make Shoreham-by-Sea a very desirable place to live. The town itself is relatively small, with a population of around 53,000.

History

The town and port of New Shoreham was established by the Norman Conquerors towards the end of the 11th century. Shoreham’s strategic location and proximity to Normandy made it a logical place to improve facilities for travel and trade. The rise of Brighton and Worthing and the coming of the railway in 1840 prepared the way for Shoreham’s rise as a rapidly growing Victorian sea port with several shipyards and an active coasting trade.
