Film Backdrop @ Shoreham Fort

Shoreham holds a unique position in the history of film-making as it was the location of
one of the earliest film studio complexes.

It is thought that in 1913, Francis Lyndhurst (grandfather of the famous actor, Nicholas Lyndhurst) chose the location due to the pure air and increased hours of sunshine.

Bungalow Town was already a popular destination for music hall artists and the first film
to be made at Shoreham Fort was the 1914 film 'The Showman’s Dream' which featured
local actor and music hall star Will Evans as the lead character.

The Friends of Shoreham Fort have co-ordinated local groups, including Creative Waves, to help re-create the original film backdrop.
