Cokeham is a small ward in the Adur district of West Sussex, tucked between the coastal towns of Shoreham-by-Sea and Lancing. The area sits close to the River Adur and the fringe of the South Downs, giving residents easy access to both riverside and downland walks; it also benefits from good road links to the A27 corridor and nearby rail and bus services into Brighton and Worthing. Part of the ward includes light industrial and business estates that sit alongside predominantly residential streets, reflecting its mixed-use character.
Locally there’s a practical, community-focused feel: small shops, workshops and social groups serve a broad, mixed-age population rather than being a tourist hotspot. Historically the neighbourhood’s fortunes have been shaped by the nearby harbour and airport economies and by incremental post-war housing and light industry, so today it reads as a typical West Sussex suburban enclave with strong ties to the surrounding coastal and maritime industries.
