How We Used To Live Tuesday 1 March 2016 at 7.30pm
Bank and Emery Down Village Hall
Victorian Lymington – What did the Victorians do for us? by Angela Trend. Discover what the Victorians did for this quiet waterside town once dependent on the sea, salt and smuggling. There is only one obvious Victorian building in the High Street where forest ponies, pigs and cattle roamed freely among the market stalls. Sheep and cows were driven down the High Street bound for Mr Topps slaughter house or the Isle of Wight ferry. Fairs were held twice a year in the High Street and the circus elephants paraded through the town. Why were several new churches and schools built? What was the Blind House?
Angela, a founder member of How We Used To Live, is a well-known local historian and has recently completed an exhaustive year researching for an exhibition and numerous talks on the life of Arthur Phillip. She is currently
preparing an exhibition for families on Alice and the Alice books; she continues her role as a Lymington guide.
Entry £3 on the door; refreshments available.
