ALL WELCOME
Images, traditional songs and readings about life on the land in Sussex at the time the Phoenix Foundry opened in 1832 and the changes it brought to working people's lives.
Images from Allan and Rene Marriott's Magic Lantern, the Victorian ancestor of the slide projector. The show will include slides of Lewes from the Sussex Archaeological Society's private collection, including a number of Sanger's Circus visiting the town in the early 1900s. There will also be some novelty slides with special effects.
Music from the Spare Parts Concertina Band.

The show doesn't romanticise the foundry, farm work, or historic living conditions.

There was a good turnout and it should have made a few bob for the Sussex Archaeological Society. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as the lanternists and the band did.
