Summary
With photographs, anecdotes and reminiscences, the author, Pat Berry has drawn on her many years’ living and learning in Seaford to cover fifty years, during which a small seaside community has grown into a thriving town of some 24,000 people. The end of the Second World War found ‘Front Line Seaford’ with gaps in its families and in its streets, where enemy action had taken its toll, at home and on the battlefields. The sea, that great eternal foe, continued to demand vigilance, to prevent damage to shoreline defences with consequent flooding of the old town area.
Gone forever were many of the boarding schools for which Seaford was famous. Seaford has become a modern commuter town but still proudly celebrating its ancient history – with some startling discoveries and notable events along the way.
Pat Berry lives in Seaford and is a notable and active member of the Seaford Historical Society. She writes an article every week for the local paper.
