Living not far from Shoreham, we decided to do our next shoot at the port and the lock.  

The following is a very brief history of Shoreham Port.

In Norman Times. Trade expands rapidly for Port as major importer of wine and exporter of wool.

1826. The first Middle Pier is built at the north bank of the Port to regulate the tide.
1855. The locked canal is opened to shipping for the first time.
