We have been sent some wonderful pictures taken by Sussex Police photographers in years gone by. While we are not sure what date the accident in Old Town’s Den Hill happened, the Grammar School fire in Kings Drive was on November 16 1977 and King Charles paid a visit to the town on July 27 1978, probably to see a performance at what was the Kings Country Club.
