Sue Berry will be covering the development of diverse industries in the county town during this period.. It will include an exploration of how a market and administrative centre’s, mainly processing industries, such as candle-making and brewing, altered, and why the fortunes of other industries such as iron industries fluctuated.
Following Will’s previous talk earlier in the year he will present a further selection of images from the large collection held by Newhaven Historical Society at their Newhaven Museum. Currently volunteers at the museum are undertaking a major exercise of sorting and digitising a large cache of photographs and documents, many of IA interest. The nature of industry and employment in the town has changed radically over the last 150 years and the talk will be a further exploration of these changes.
