MARTELLO TOWER NO. 74

The Martello Tower

One of our volunteers, Ben Franks, runs a number of Seaford history related Blogs, which you can access from our Links and Documents page

The latest Blog is about an album of over 80 images from a camera group at the Downs School for Young Ladies in Seaford during and just prior to WW1. They described themselves as the “Camera Fiends”.

Our next talk is “Stanley Mockford, Creator of the Mayday Signal”, Speaker Graham Wratten, May 9th, 7:00pm at the Little Theatre, Steyne Road. Doors open 6:30pm.
This event requires pre-booking.  More details here…

Take a virtual tour of the museum here.
