Historic Shoreham clubhouse demolished for flood defences

 HISTORIC clubhouse has been demolished to make way for essential flood defences.

The clubhouse, home to the Sussex Yacht Club, opened in 1950 but closed for good last November to make way for defences to protect residents in Shoreham.

Demolition of the building was completed last week in preparation for their installation, alongside a new cycle route.

We have retained some important historical features from the building that celebrate this history that we are so proud of.”

Construction of a new clubhouse started in 2019 and opened in the summer after delays due to the pandemic.
