Short Description
Coronation Green Public Art Installation was first built in 1953 and was refurbished in 2002 as part of Her Majesty’s Jubilee.
There is an analemmatic sundial, compass, and public art installation entitled the “Adur Portals” pictured above which was installed in 2013.
This installation took inspiration from the nearby Marlipins museum using caen stone and flints. The memories capture photo negatives of families and workmen from the district photos of local people.
Coronation Green has hosted a number of events and stalls.
Adur District Council is looking to commission an inclusive art piece that seeks to engage the community and celebrate Shoreham. The installation is planned to be complete by April 2026.
