Our next talk is “The Many Schools of Seaford,” given by Charlie Grimble.
Charlie Grimble, having been vice-chair of Governors at Cradle Hill School for a number of years, chair of Governors of a secondary school before that, and a researcher at the Seaford Museum, has put together a comprehensive story of how schools developed in Seaford. We have all heard about Seaford Ladies College, Newlands School, and may know about the schools lining Firle Road and Sutton Avenue in past years. You may have heard of headteachers called Colonel Savage, Miss Comfort, Miss Pitt and Mr Bull, but did you know about Mr. George Flashman Tyler Pearson, or Mr Perfect, or the Reverend Mother Pain?
If you want to find out how important the schools were to Seaford’s economy and development, and how local children were educated, and why it all happened when it did, then come along to hear Charlie’s talk on behalf of the Seaford Museum.
11th October, 2:30pm, at the Little Theatre, Steyne Road. Doors open 2pm.
£3 for members, £5 non-members. No prebooking, pay at the door.
