Although you will doubtless find many people who will tell you that any attempt to re-construct the period prior to Caesar's arrival in these islands is quite hopeless and mere foolish guesswork, it will be necessary for our purpose to say something concerning it. The Adur Valley was the centre of a primitive civilization and the Story of Shoreham begins far back in that distant past usually termed Pre-historic. |

The Neolithic (later stone age) population of Britain-a darkwhite race-are said to have come from the deserts of the east, from Arabia and Egypt, and to have followed the shores of the Mediterranean in journeying hitherward. Any attempt to fix a date for this immigration is quite hopeless. It was far back in the distant ages, but this ancient people had settlements in thus part of the country which we now call Sussex, in the coast district between the Downs and the sea and in the river valleys. |

On the alluvial lowlands of the Adur estuary they grew in abundance those cereals upon which they largely depended for their daily bread. At Cissbury Hill they obtained in abundance the flints for the manufacture of their stone hatchets and other implements. |
