Rotor, was on Truleigh hill. Honeybunch........sounds like the name of a bungalow.

Yes on ROTOR. and Honeybunch is a bungalow in Victoria Road adjacent to the Old Shoreham Road junction.

Ok Gerry, you can set the next question.

I think you are correct,it was Southwick Hill. I will have to find where it now as you have me wondering. There is also a bunker at Steyning. I had a job installing equipment in them.

Ther's a photograph on the site somewhere of the Southwick bunker showing the lid and surround IIRC. I think Jimbo took and posted it some time ago?

1840...?

[/quote Your answer is correct, The stretch of line, laid by London/Brighton /South Coast railway extended to Shoreham.
The Cutting through the chalk at Brighton/Hove must have taken some hard work. I beleive you John John must set
the next question.

[johnjohn]

This one is a bit obscure but part of the Shoreham business history.

How many branches did the Grocer 'Eade's Stores' have in Shoreham in the late 30's ?

[johnjohn]

That might be a little too difficult to find....there were four, Brunswick Road,High Street,New Road and 'Bungalow Town'....a 1930's Mr.Tesco!
try this one also a local trader......What did Arthur Cottee sell in his shop ?

I remember the family talking about "going down to Cotees" but can't for the life of me remember where it was or what they sold. Was it hardware?
