Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex, had a population of around 23,700 at the 2021 census — a historic port town from which a future king once fled the country.
The king who sailed from Shoreham
In October 1651, after his defeat at the Battle of Worcester, the future Charles II slipped aboard a small coal brig called the Surprise, moored at Shoreham, and sailed for France just hours ahead of the Parliamentarian troops sent to catch him. The escape gave the pub on the quayside its name, the Royal Escape, and is still marked in the town today.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Shoreham-by-Sea shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent — many Shoreham-by-Sea shoppers would otherwise have to travel to Brighton or Worthing for a wider selection.
