Author: The Argus
Sussex Remembered
There is no more faithful recorder of events which, year in, year out, make up the daily life of our fine newspaper. Its journalists listen, probe and ask, then set down the facts to bring it all together. And its photographers complement the words with pictures that 'freeze-frame' events great and small, happy and sad, thoughtful and downright silly. All this complete a record which is there for all time.
The archives of The Argus are brimming with thousands of fascinating photographs which record over a century of life in Sussex.
Now, for the first time, some of the best of these pictures have been brought together in one book, Sussex Remembered, which covers each decade of the 20th 21st century to produce a record which will evoke powerful memories for those old enough to remember, and provide illumination for those who simply wonder what it was like.
From pictures of the seafronts and then those days of Edwardian elegance, through two world wars and the intervening years, the austere 1950s, the swinging 1960s, and right through the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, all aspects of life are here.
From schooldays to shopping days, mods and rockers, snowstorms and gales to golden days., the reader will enjoy a wonderful journey through over 100 years of our story.
