I saw this earlier, only just got to look at it now. I have a few ariel shots of Shoreham from over the years, also on the HE site is a map of the country with older stuff, shots from 1927 and 30's over Shoreham are superb.

Shoreham beach, before it was decimated. Wonderful.

Excellent photo, thank you. Seems to be some sort of work yard in the spot I lived for about 4 years, beach-side.

Some seem to be earlier and later than WW2.
Interesting though.

Do you have a link? I can't see it on the Grauniad page.

Is that the footbridge (front centre), the railway bridge and the old toll, going clockwise ?

That’s correct.

Any version of Shoreham that doesn’t feature The Waterside pub is good for me

Sorry, Brighton. Or is that Hove then? No wonder I’m confused

The one in your post is Hove. Through station with an island on the up side. Photo looking west.

Great stuff. Can I ask, how did you copy the images? I can't save them for me (from the Historic England website)...?
