Saturday 19th January 7.30pm. 40 years of Amberley Industrial Museum
The museum will be celebrating its 40th Anniversary in 2019. Roger Kevern, a Volunteer Guide at the Museum, will tell us the story of Amberley in two parts – pre and post 1979.
Pre 1979 will commence with early geology of the chalk deposits in Sussex, move through the Roman period, the rebuilding of London after the Great Fire and then describe the chalk mining activities at Amberley through the industrial revolution to the operation of the Pepper Chalk pits until it closed in the late 1960s.
Post 1979 will cover the founding of the Amberley Museum in 1979 and bring us up to date on what has happened since then. Pre and post 1979 will be split by a tea break

Saturday 16th March, 7.30pm. Boys on the Plaque
As a result of a chance building operation, the Fabrica Gallery in Brighton uncovered a WWI memorial for the parishioners of what then was Holy Trinity church, Ship Street, Brighton. This plaque listed those who served in the forces and sadly fell, but also those who served and returned.
From this rich source (and with much research assistance) Dr Geoffrey Mead has been able to construct a partial pattern of the employment structure of central Brighton in the early 20th century.
Similarities in employment patterns will have been replicated in other Sussex towns
