Debby Matthews: The Station Street Story

About

Debby will share some of the information she has found for a forthcoming book in our Street Stories series about one of the main thoroughfares through the middle of Lewes. She will paint a picture of a thousand years of what was originally named St Mary's Lane, later Station Street with the coming of the railway station at the bottom of the hill.

The book and the talk will describe the many shops, businesses, public institutions, manufacturers and social changes affecting this part of Lewes, giving a picture of how ordinary people lived and worked over the years. This is a culmination of research begun over 15 years ago with a series of public exhibitions.
