The  Names and Addresses of Residents and Businesses in Shoreham and Bungalow Town

The surviving pages of this directory do not show when it was published but by comparing the names and addresses with other records the year has been identified as 1917 (since confirmed from other surviving copies). This Pike's Directory covered the Brighton and Hove District which included nearby towns and the Shoreham section of it is shown here - Shoreham town is shown first then Bungalow Town. Residents and occupiers are shown street by street and then alphabetically by surname, the latter making searching for individuals an easy task. 

By 1917 the house numbering for most of Shoreham's streets had already been reorganised and renumbered into the more logical and consistent system we have today. However, it should be borne in mind that places such as Victoria Road were still being significantly developed which led to a complete renumbering exercise resulting in present day numbers that are different to those shown in this directory.

The Bungalow Town section from a later directory is also included (black and white pages). These were rescued from papers about to be destroyed and again no year shown but appear to be from the late 1920's.

Old directories such as these are of course still available for purchase second hand and microfilm copies can be accessed at local libraries. For shorehambysea.com members and visitors to our web site however these pages provide an opportunity to browse here for predecessors, town officials, harbour dues, organisations, bygone shops and businesses etc.,
