East Sussex memories
Micro Brewery, Lewes, East Sussex, around 1936
My father recently told me that his grandfather, William Parkes, was the manager of a micro brewery, in Lewes, East Sussex, in about 1936. My father, Gordon, remembers spending many holidays visiting his grandfather there, with his sister, Barbra, and believes the brewery was a 'Watneys'. He also remembers the hams that used to dry in the cellar, which were sold... [more]

Sometime around 1956, for about two years, two of us shared a cottage in Iford village (one of the first two as you came off the main road from Lewes). We worked for Mr Robinson milking his Guernsey herd and doing the dairy work for one of the Shorthorn herds, in those days there was a bottling plant at the other... [more]

I was born in Rodmell on 25th November 1964 at Mill Furlong. I continued to live there until my father built Abergavenny House.

My great-grandmother was born here in 1847, Elizabeth Reed. Her father William was employed as a farming bailiff. I recently drove 200 miles to take photos of the fine church in the village, only to return home and see a better one on the net. However I did find 2 gravestones with Reed names on them.
Such a pretty village... [more]

Hailsham Photographic Memories
The railway originally ended at Terminus Place (which is hardly surprising), and housing was laid out along the old lane onto the common: this became Western Road, with Summer Heath Road a turning off in the distance of this view. All the houses on the right, apart from the one in the middle distance with two hipped- roofed bay windows, have since been demolished. The 1960s library, together with modern housing estates, have replaced them. The survivor is... [more]

Half a mile south of the hamlet with the parish church and Chiddingly Place is another small hamlet, Muddles Green, where cottages fringe a small green. All four buildings in this view are Victorian: the one on the left, Birch Cottage, is of the 1860s, and the one behind the telephone pole, Jubilee Cottage, is dated 1887, while the others are of about 1900....

This interior view of the church shows the 15th- century nave arcades and chancel arch; the ghost of the original roof line can be seen high above the chancel arch. The medieval roof survives, but it was lifted in 1889 when the Victorian clerestory was added. The Victorian improving biblical text over the chancel arch has been replaced by the more familiar 'Jesus said: I am the way, the truth and the life'.
