MARTELLO TOWER NO. 74

The Martello Tower

One of our volunteers, Ben Franks, runs a number of Seaford history related Blogs, which you can access from our Links and Documents page

The latest Blog is about an album of over 80 images from a camera group at the Downs School for Young Ladies in Seaford during and just prior to WW1. They described themselves as the “Camera Fiends”.

Our next talk is “Ghosts & the Blitz at the Tower of London”, by Alan Kingshott , 14/11/25, 2:30pm at the Little Theatre, Steyne Road. Doors open 2:00PM.
