About

Marine ward occupies the northernmost section of Adur district, stretching inland from the coastline. It is primarily a residential area containing the neighbourhoods of Fishersgate and part of Southwick. The ward is bordered by the River Adur to the east and the Brighton Main Line railway to the west, which defines its urban character. Housing here consists largely of interwar and post-war terraced and semi-detached homes, with some local commercial centres along main roads.

A defining aspect is the presence of the historic Dutch-style Fishersgate Pumping Station, a key part of the area's drainage infrastructure. The ward includes significant green spaces such as the wide, grassy expanse of Southwick Green and the playing fields of Buckingham Park. Its coastline features a shingle beach and the long, functional Southwick Canal, which runs parallel to the shore, separating the residential areas from the Channel.
