George Hedgecock – Shoreham Shoemaker

Jan Townsend

George Hedgecock was Shoreham’s well known bootmaker in East Street during the first half of the twentieth century and one of the town’s first cycling enthusiasts in the 1880’s. This collection of family photos is kindly donated by Jan Townsend, the granddaughter of George Hedgecock. Jan has also allowed us to include the story of George’s 1912 motorcycle marathon which can be seen at http://www.shorehambysea.com/1912-shoreham-edinburgh-motorcycle-marathon/
