As a child in the 70's sitting in the backseat, I remember driving past the Swiss Cottage many times to visit my grandparents in Shoreham. Now I know that interesting history. Thanks.

Brilliant…so glad I remember it before the entrance was demolished !

Nice Job, Roger. A picture may be worth a thousand words - a thoughtfully edited video, using well researched and sympathetic resources; doubly so.

Sorry to be so long in replying Fraser - thank you for your comments, it's alway good to know people like the 'videos'

Thanks for putting this together. A wonderful video that really captures the Swiss Gardens as they once were

[@rogerbateman9527]

Very kind of you Ray. Good to know these Shoreham videos are still providing enjoyment.

Pleased you like it, thanks - it always frustrates me that a lot of Shoreham's architectural history has been demolished but I guess little would have remained of Swiss Cottage by now anyway as virtually all the buildings were made of softwood.
