Welcome to the website dedicated to the little known film industry that existed at Shoreham By Sea, in West Sussex, at the turn of the century. Few people have any notion of how close the town came to being a mecca of British, or even world, film production. The story is a fascinating one that has become buried within the annals of history. This website uncovers the story and is separated into regions that can be read chronologically or independently of one another. The site is an extension of a personal interest and research into 'Bungalow Town', as the industry was known at the time. Please feel free to email me with comments etc. at [email protected].
