Some time ago, I asked for photographs and reminiscences of the floods of October last year.
The response has been very good and our Town Clerk Designate, Dr Helena Hodges, has prepared an interesting and informative exhibition which will be on display from November 26-30 and December 3-7 in the foyer of the Town Hall.
The Oral History Group of the Lewes U3A has kindly produced for us a tape of local voices recounting their experiences. These have been selected from archives of recorded interviews about the floods that the Oral History Group has been compiling. Also on display will be the volumes that chronicle the floods of 1960. I hope many will find time to look in and enjoy the exhibition, all of which will afterwards be made into a permanent record.
-Coun John Webber, Mayor of Lewes, Mayor's Parlour, Town Hall, Lewes
