Sussex Lookup Requests / Re: 1861/71 Look Up for Harriet Ann PATCHING b. Brighton
« on: Wednesday 26 May 10 10:59 BST (UK) »
Patching is a famous name in Shoreham-by-Sea. I used to live in the former home of the Patchings, built in 1893.

Sussex / Re: Steyning Union Workhouse
« on: Wednesday 26 May 10 10:51 BST (UK) »
Hi The workhouse moved from Ham Road to Upper Shoreham Road .. I will check the exact date but it would have been around 1905.
The births are often registered as 2 Upper Shoreham Road, although the workhouse occupied a frontage of over half a mile so numbers are not relevant. I have seen other people mentioning different numbers on their birth certificates. (in the tens).

I know shoreham very well. I am 100% certain that is not Shoreham. The brewery you speak of was amongst buildings. The topography is very different.

Hi, I run a history website for Shoreham in Sussex. You may want to post there as they are quite knowledgeable.

Upper Shoreham Road is quite a problematic address. From other web sources this seems like Portslade is the probable location, not Shoreham. Geographically there are separate towns - West to east, Shoreham, then Southwick and finally Portslade. The Workhouse (now Southlands Hospital) had (and still does) an Upper Shoreham Road address for all births there.. but is firmly in Shoreham (although was called Steyning Union!).
There was an orphange at St. Wilfreds/ Ham Road Shoreham.
Yours sounds like it was firmly in Portslade. BUT Upper Shoreham Road does not exist in Portslade - it may have been renamed decades ago, but it is very likely to be Old Shoreham Road now
