William Catt, Tidemills and East Beach

William Catt should not have been an industrial titan, but he became one anyway. Born sixty years before the Victorian era, he refused the quiet life of a farmer’s son and chased opportunity instead.
Starting with a tide mill near Newhaven, he built a coastal empire: flour, malt, breweries, military supplies, and a fortune that transformed his family’s future.
But the story doesn’t end with him. This same shoreline would later host a Marconi radio station, a seaplane station, a stable for crippled horses and a hospital.
One man’s ambition. Two centuries of innovation.
