Excellent Roger! I remember going there in a small group taken by Mr. Bennett (our history Master) from the Grammar School in around '57 and it was jaw dropping; that started me on my love of history. I remember the dusty shelves with ships blocks and lamps and a whole host of various ships paraphernalia, all very exciting and shame on these other so called museums with their Perspex shelves, fancy lighting effects and television screens, thats not history, its futuristic clap trap.
Thank you Frank, an interesting and persuasive view on museum exhibits and presentation

Hi Rodger, do you by any chance have any images of the old foot bridge at Shoreham around the 1960,s?
