I lived in Rye till i was 11. I still class it as home even though Im 30 now and I miss the place like crazy. Maybe one day I will convince my other half to bring me home.

I have just discovered that my great great great grandparents came from Rye so could anyone tell me if a place called Fishers House still exists, and also what a farm baliff was expected to do, or what kind of job did a fly catcher do? Are any family called Wenham still living in Rye?

Hastings, St Leonard's, 22 North Street 2004 (ref: H36749k)
Year: 1940s Chapmans Dairy.
A memory of Hastings, East Sussex

This building was Chapmans Dairy and belonged to my family. It was originally two houses, numbers 22 and 23, with a stable at the rear for the ponies. The door now remaining led into the shop and the downstairs windows were bay windows. The whole building was painted white! How it has changed!

  All Saints School : Miss Martin
A memory of Hastings, East Sussex

Does anyone have any school photos,class groups etc who taught at All Saints and rose I believe to be Deputy Head.

She was my wifes Aunt and I am trying to put together a family history file to include details.

Was there a school magazine or photo archive etc

She later became Olive Gammage

  B. W. Matthews (butchers) 406
A memory of Hastings, East Sussex

Hi

My wife has acquired a photo of a Butchers shop ,possibly in Hastings or Brede area

The shop nameboard is BW Matthews and shows the 4 shop staff outside the front of the building.

One of the butchers is apparently my wifes Aunts father but there are other towns with the family connection, so it may NOT be a Hastings Area photo

The photo was taken by a C W Pooke (or similar) but carries no other notes

Does anyone recognise the de scription estimate 1890-1900 photo
Can send scan

Thankyou


John Wells
