Nostalgic memories of Uckfield's local history

Share your own memories of Uckfield and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

I was a boarder at St Michaels Convent, Uckfield from 1954-1961 and would be interested to hear from anyone who was there at that time; particularly Jennifer Holmes, as she then was. She was my best friend.
I attended the St Michael's Convent when it was a boarding school run by the nuns. I remember Sister Anastasia who was very kind. Also the prayers and the lovely church next door. I saw that they have bulldozed the convent and I think it's so sad. I was there in 1963 and it was to be my last school before I entered the world. When I was there the BBC came and did a Christmas broadcast. I was Victoria Redman then.
