First time I have seen this. I think it is wonderful. I was so absorbed I kept forgetting I was not looking at moving pictures.

Love the montage, great job! Amazing how many small industries once existed at the turn of the century. barrel and box makers, carriage builders, wood and iron shops, dress and shoe makers, all kinds of manufacturing that would be put out of business by mass production performed by hourly wage earners. We blame politicians for this, but the fact is, centralized production lowered costs, making everything affordable for everyone. First the railroads then the roads with modern cars and trucks completed the transformation of small, self sufficient villages into bedroom suburbs to big cities. We have always lived in a changing world, and those who complain the loudest are the ones who cannot change with the times.

It is beautiful to see pictures from the past. I often spent my holidays in Shoreham-by-Sea, it is such a calm and nice place with a little centre, a station, a churchyard, lots of little shops, pubs, water and boats. And very nice people. Hope I will be able to come back.
