A short distance to the north of Arundel Castle lies Swanbourne Lake, created before the Conquest as a mill pond but then in the late 1700s enlarged to become an ornamental lake with a new mill pond built at the southern end of the lake to serve the mill which was painted by Constable in 1837. This was demolished soon after and in its place appeared the pumphouse, the subject of this story.

This article is the result correspondence from Mrs. Josephine Potten and her son Ray of Hove, and from Miss E. Mary Selina Hammond of St Albans who are members of the Sussex Industrial Archaeology Society, and are also related to Charles Edwin Hammond who on 7 May 1873 took out a patent for a centrifugal governing mechanism to control the speed of the sweeps of a windmill, one example being incorporated in the mill at Windmill Hill. As this information was too comprehensive for the Newsletter, I have put together the following article from the correspondence received and associated documentation.

History of Shoreham Cement Works, by Ron Martin, published 2004 in Sussex Industrial History (issue no. 34, article, pp.26-35, ISSN: 0263-5151) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/506532]   Download PDF

Located in the Adur Valley at TQ 200086, are the remains of the Shoreham Cement Works. Although mainly within the parish of Upper Beeding, successive owners have always referred to the site as "Shoreham". It was built on both sides of the A283 road at the east side of the River Adur and the 1861 Shoreham to Horsham railway line. The existing works was built between 1946 and 1952 as a state of the art design and was finally closed in 1991.

Colin Pullinger's Registered Designs, by David Drummond, published 2004 in Sussex Industrial History (issue no. 34, article, pp.36-37, ISSN: 0263-5151) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/506532]   Download PDF

Some ten years ago I wrote about Colin Pullinger of Selsey and two of his mouse trap designs, his unsuccessful Automaton Mouse Trap and his commercially successful Perpetual Mouse Trap. In this article I wrote "A point should be made at this stage about the word 'Registered'. There is no evidence that Colin Pullinger registered either of his mouse traps, or for that matter any of his other inventions, as patents or designs. It seems likely that his wholesaler inserted the word in his advertisements as a ploy to deter potential competitors from copying the design. In this as we shall see later he seems to have been largely unsuccessful". Quite recently however my attention has been drawn by Stephen van Dulken to the appearance of Colin Pullinger's name in a list held in the British Library of registered non-ornamental designs. Further research has revealed that not only did Colin Pullinger register his two mouse trap designs, but also a few others. Thus the purpose of the present article is partly to eat humble pie and to indicate the nature of Colin's registered designs, but perhaps most importantly first of all to reveal the existence of an important body of unpublished information that may be largely unknown to other amateur would-be historians of inventions.

The forge was located on the east side of Balcombe Road, Crawley at TQ 2979 3675 and was an L-shaped building, the short leg being at the rear of the site, orientated north to south and this has been referred to this as the "original forge" with the more recent extension running east to west toward the road.
