The harbours and seaborne trade of Sussex 1700-1950 John Farrant
In the 1970s I published several booklets and articles on the harbours of Sussex and trade across its coast.
They are listed at :-
http:/www.sussexpast.co.uk/research/hist8.htm#Harbours and Seabourne Trade
Other than the article in Sussex Archaeological Collections, they were in rather ephemeral forms, refugees from a book which David & Charles commissioned but abandoned.
I intend now to revise them, possibly to extend the timescale to 1950 and the coverage to include fishing and shipbuilding, and to publish them in one volume, along with my article on Cater Rand (Sussex Industrial History 6 (1973/4)) and on Brighton as a seafaring town 1550-1750 (Mariners Mirror 75 (1985)). Please let me know of any errors in what I published; of any subsequent publications which I may miss; and of any relevant recent archival deposits.
