Shoreham-by-Sea, Sussex, The Lighthouse 1913

Shoreham-by-Sea, Sussex, The Lighthouse 1913. Unfortunately it is not possible to get exactly the same viewpoint on Google Street View as the one in this postcard. The photographer, William Applebee of Ashford, Middlesex, visited Sussex in 1913 accompanied by his wife and took some photographs of Sussex views including Worthing, Littlehampton, Shoreham and surrounding areas. Shoreham Lighthouse, built in 1846 is largely unchanged. Click the photo to enlarge.
For more old photos have a look at this week's Sepia Saturday blog.

Grinsted, Fishmonger). The Rose Hotel (now just a pub) appears to be the only building in this postcard that has survived into the 21st century. Postcard by W. H. Applebee.
