The museum, at the Samuel Wickens Centre in the Broadmark Lane Car Park, has a display of images and objects of schools past and present from the museum collection for September and October.

Among them are a tie and cap from the PNEU school, in Claigmar Road, which were donated, along with a blazer and school jumper.

The exhibition is an opportunity to see and read all about Rustington’s bygone days of tutoring, before calculators and backpacks.

Curator Claire Lucas would love to hear from anyone who would like to take part in the display by sharing their old school photos and remembering school days in Rustington.
