Prochronism: Sussex folk were first to predict our Queen’s accession in 1909.

Prochronism: an anachronism marked by the assignment of an event to a date earlier than the actual historical one.

They call us ‘silly Sussex’ but farsighted Sussex folk are not so silly as to fail to celebrate their future Queen almost half a century before her coronation. The loyal Shoreham fisherman who named this boat (photographed in 1909) was clearly gifted with uncanny crystal-gazing vision (if not a command of orthodox spelling).

A serendipitous find, the original postcard snapshot has the head of our Queen’s great-grandfather on the half-penny stamp affixed to the reverse.  (The boy in the photo is the addressee ; the photo is by his father who is the postcard’s sender.)
