Hastings

Read and share memories of Hastings and East Sussex inspired by Frith photos

All Saints School : Miss Martin

Does anyone have any school photos,class groups etc who taught at All Saints and rose I believe to be Deputy Head.

She was my wifes Aunt and I am trying to put together a family history file to include details.

Was there a school magazine or photo archive etc

She later became Olive Gammage


Thank you

B. W. Matthews (butchers) 406

Hi

My wife has acquired a photo of a Butchers shop ,possibly in Hastings or Brede area

The shop nameboard is BW Matthews and shows the 4 shop staff outside the front of the building.

One of the butchers is apparently my wifes Aunts father but there are other towns with the family connection, so it may NOT be a Hastings Area photo

The photo was taken by a C W Pooke (or similar) but carries no other notes

Does anyone recognise the de scription estimate 1890-1900 photo
Can send scan

Thankyou

Chapmans Dairy.

This building was Chapmans Dairy and belonged to my family. It was originally two houses, numbers 22 and 23, with a stable at the rear for the ponies. The door now remaining led into the shop and the downstairs windows were bay windows. The whole building was painted white! How it has changed!
