Abstract:Edwardian Worthing covers the period between 1901 and 1914. These Edwardian times often proved to be exciting for both residents and holiday-makers alike in this premier seaside resort. Whenever the Lifeboat was launched, hundreds, sometimes thousands passionately flocked to witness the men of valour. Life in this class-conscious society is carefully illustrated throughout this exclusive review. More than 200 Edwardian photographs have been improved electronically to produce images which enhance the quality of the pictures within this book.

Abstract:The Royal National Lifeboat Institution was established in 1824 and has a long and proud tradition of saving life at sea. Today, the volunteer lifeboat crews on the south coast of England and the Channel Islands operate high-tech state-of-the-art lifeboats in their work of saving lives at sea in and around some of the busiest sea lanes in the world.
The RNLI currently operates thirty lifeboat stations on the south coast of England and around the Channel Islands, and this comprehensive book has details of every one, with information about their history, rescues and current lifeboats. It also includes details of old stations that have been closed and the many dramatic, courageous and daring rescues undertaken by the lifeboat crews from Sussex, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Dorset, Devon and the Channel Islands are brought to life.
Author Nicholas Leach has amassed a wealth of information about the lifeboats and lifeboat stations of the south coast and the Channel Islands, past and present, visiting every one to provide a complete and up-to-date record of life-saving in the seas off this beautiful and picturesque, but often dangerous, coastline.

Shoreham Harbour Lifeboat Station, by John Periam and Michelle Tugwell, published 2016 (RNLI) accessible at: West Sussex Libraries
Abstract:This new publication gives an exciting, and at times nostalgic history about the station's last 150 years.
From the early days of the horse drawn carriage lifeboats to the current state of the art Tamar lifeboat situated in its purpose built boathouse at Shoreham, you can read about the crews' exploits both at sea and behind the scenes.
It also covers royal visits, fund-raising, family histories, the history of the different lifeboats station and the many life saving services over the years.
Stunning images grace all the pages, many which have been enhanced from archive files, to current ones taken by Geoffrey Lee and other local photographers.
