Title: Shoreham On Sea.
Post by: leefer on Tuesday, March 2, 2010, 20:42:44
What a glorious little place...deliver to Brighton and Worthing regularly but was in Shoreham yesterday delivering timber,,right on the old wharf on the estuary that meets the sea.
Had my break there and watched the little fishing boats chug back to the quay...seems they mainly had cockles/mussells on board..its a lovely area and it was the first time i had actually been to Shoreham.
Brightons ground at Falmer is starting to take shape...it looks impresive being overlooked by the Sussex Downs.
Also a bonus that the sun was shining...hope i get down there again soon..Shoreham that is.

Well i felt like i was on it,..those flats ware you live i saw some guy pull a little boat down the shore on his back..jump in and chug off down the estuary.....no life jacket..looked like he just walked out the pub...think it was Stampo timber ware i dropped off the timber.

yep thats opposite me, we have a little marina and you can sail down to the pub :) or get in a little motor boat and beat the commute into brighton.

Its a lovely little place to live and only 10 minutes from the city. next time you are there go for lunch in a fantastic italian restaurant next to the station called brio. Best italian food i have ever tasted.

Well will defo be there again for work so obviously awkward then but will be going for a weekend when the weather picks up....ta alot...so is that bit of water a river or the estuary to the sea?

Post by: Mexicano Rojo on Tuesday, March 2, 2010, 22:22:07
river adur out to sea, very very tidal, saying that not sure what defines an estuary? The bit round the corner is shoreham harbour which is actually in southwick and portslade. I do believe its the biggest working harbour left in england. Its about 4 miles long.

Yeah i took the coast road that followed it through Southwick because i had to go to Hove after.
Lovely drive though the road into Worthing(nr Sompting)is a nightmare in the mornings....that was my first drop.

you can go on the A27 at worthing at 3 in the morning and get stuck in traffic jams.

Now youve been here you understand why i live here, it really is a beautiful part of the country with a vibrant city with loads going on just round the corner.

Fuck off Mex Shoreham is a prick-filled place...  I hate the phrase Adur...  Wtf is that supposed to represent?  It's all about Crawley - a lovely town full of respectable people... 

Sorry to hijack the thread a little but...  Mex any suggestions for Thursday?  Planning a mad one in Brighton but have the girlfriend's mum in tow, so can't be full of smashed 16 yr olds (as per my usual haunts.....)

I used to know the Shoreham and Worthing area quite well when my sister lived in Findon.
All of her children were born at Shoreham hospital.

We used to take the children for walks to the top of Chantarbury Ring,with great views
accross the south downs and we'd pass by the race horse trainer Josh Gifford's stables.

Surely you are on a wind up with that statement!  Its alright if you fancy a curry i suppose

Yeah, although I do love Crawley, just for it's location.  It's a shame it's full of tossers.  I've just landed a fantastic flat at a bargain price - really really nice and a stone's throw from the town centre, me and the missus cannot believe our luck.  It's just a shame some of the others who've moved in treat it like a squat...  One set of pricks downstairs has covered one wall with posters.  Grrr.

Haha trust you Mex...  Nah you wouldn't want to!!   ;D
