More about Portslade By Sea in Sussex
Portslade By Sea is the name of a lovely little
village, now a developed part of the city of Brighton &
Hove. The original settlement a mile inland to the north
was built up in the 16th century and is home to many a
handsome resident. The arrival of the railway from
Brighton in 1840 encouraged rapid development of the
coastal area and, in 1896, the southern part, known as
Copperas Gap was granted urban district status and
renamed Portslade-by-Sea, making it distinct from
Portslade Village. After World War II the district of
Mile Oak was added. Today Portslade is bisected from
east to west by the old A27 road between Brighton and
Worthing, each part having a distinct character.
Portslade Village to the north, nestles in a valley of
the South Downs and still retains its rural character
with flint buildings, a village green and the small
parish church of St Nicolas which is the second oldest
church in the city dating from approximately 1150.
Another notable building in the village is Portslade
Manor, one of the few surviving ruins of a Norman manor,
built in the 12th century it is now a Scheduled Ancient
Monument. Foredown tower houses one of only two camera
obscuras in the south of England. It is open to the
public.
Portslade-by-Sea to the south, straddles the small but
busy seaport harbour basin of Shoreham-by-Sea harbour
and is the industrial centre of Brighton & Hove.
Terraced housing dating back to the nineteenth century
is interspaced with parks and allotments. Boundary Road
is the main shopping area as well as being the location
of the station, with direct trains to London Victoria
with a journey time of about an hour.
Portslade has been identified with the Roman port Novus
Portus mentioned in Ptolemy's Geography of the second
century AD. Drove road has been linked with the Roman
road 'the London to Portslade road' that passes through
Patcham valley to Haywards Heath and on to Streatham in
London. Roman remains and a Roman burial were found in
Roman Road. The name of the town is said to stem from
the Latin 'Portus Adurni' being at the time of the Roman
settlement of the area the point where the River Adur
met the sea. the Roman entrance to the river is now lost
due to longshore drift and erosion (now at nearby
Shoreham by Sea).
The old name Copperas Gap for Portslade by sea suggests
that the coast was used for the production of copperas
or green vitriol, a form of ferrous sulphate used
extensively in the textile industry. The process took
over six years and made use of iron pyrite rich nodules
that could be found in the strata of sussex greensand
stone that emerges at this point in the coast.
Portslade-by-Sea was an urban district from the late
19th century to 1974, when it became part of the borough
of Hove later to become part of the city of Brighton and
Hove. Portslade town hall is on Victoria Road, and is
used as a venue.
