Join us either in person, or live online for a Study Day on 'Change in Victorian and Edwardian Sussex, 1840-1914
Organised by Sussex Archaeology & History
Venue: Kings Church, Brooks Road, LEWES, BN7 2BY
An exploration of how much Sussex changed between 1840 and 1914. Aided by the railway, Sussex was transformed from a rural county into a urbanised one, dominated by the development of the seaside resorts to which many rural workers moved. The Weald of Sussex became an important centre for small leisure estates, some famous for their plants. The resorts undermined the role of the county towns, which grew very slowly.
