About Me:

Some of you may know me, as I previously lived and worked in the Littlehampton area.

I am the Founder, Project Manager and current Chairman of the Littlehampton Restoration Project.

My dream over the last 14 years has been to see restoration work commence on such an important part of our history.   I have been lucky enough to have some amazing people  help me to achieve this.

Our journey along the way has all been recorded here, for everyone to enjoy.   My thanks go to Hilary Greenwood, for all the amazing research work she has completed for us.

I am very passionate about the Fort and it’s future, and I welcome anyone who wants to help me on my journey into the restoration of Littlehampton Fort.

About Me:

I moved to Littlehampton towards the end of 2013 after living in Hove for about six years. Initially a graphic designer by trade, I now work in website design, marketing, photography, illustration, set design for theatre and pretty much anything else creative (or not) that people are willing to pay me for. I’ve been working in my field for about 15 years and have a wealth of experience that I’m sure will benefit the project.

I discovered the fort quite by accident while walking along the footpath on the west beach and noticing some of the fort walls peeking out from beneath the encroaching vegetation. I’ve always thought that it’s a shame when parts of our history are left to succumb to the elements of nature and eventually disappear, and so I was excited to discover that there was a campaign that aimed to restore the fort. I feel that the restoration of the fort would provide a number of benefits to the community though education boosted tourism to name just a few, and although I’m not a born and bred Littlehamptonite, I’m proud to be a part of it.

LFRP are extremely pleased to announce the appointment of Charlie Caney as the new Littlehampton Fort Restoration Project Secretary

Like Jeff, I also discovered the fort quite by accident when I was looking into the history of another local ruin.  Knowing something of the history of the 19th century, and the Anglo-French relationship, I was then keen to learn more about the fort. Especially since I had lived in the nearby area for several years but had never been aware that this old fort was on my doorstep. This all led me to Andy and then to this project to restore the fort to its former glory.

I’ve always been very interested in history and the conservation of heritage assets. I think knowing more about the lives of those who came before us and the history of what happened in the area where we live can enrich our everyday experiences. Anything we can do to support the preservation of our heritage, particularly if it can be ultimately self-financing, is worthwhile.

As for me, I have been a solicitor for nearly 25 years. I specialise in dealing with problematic situations, mainly in the financial sector, but also among businesses more generally. I now work in a Regulator advising on the conduct of legal actions and previously I worked for an investment bank and before that in a law firm in London.
