  • NEWSLETTER No. 48 July 2021 Protecting Wadhurst’S History for Future Generations
    WADHURST HISTORY SOCIETY NEWSLETTER No. 48 July 2021 Protecting Wadhurst’s history for future generations. As Covid restrictions have not entirely left us, it is beginning to seem that nothing is ever going to change, or, if it does, it may never go back to where it was before. This old photograph looking up the High Street proves that latter point. When you study it, look at the trees on the left : this is where the forecourt of the Commemoration Hall now welcomes us; pavement on only one side but what other features can you still recognise though not perhaps exactly as they are today? As we often find in the Centre, it can be so interesting, to spend time perusing pictures and documents and seeing what is visible even now. This image shows a Wadhurst which looks very peaceful and tranquil and no two ladies today would dare to stand where these two are! What a striking contrast to the High Street of today! As a result of having time to look around properly during lockdown, this bright idea might appeal to you as a means of making sure we know what used to be there and how it has altered. Herewith an appeal to you. When you notice/learn that a shop is about to change ownership, that a development is being planned, that a house or fields are going to disappear, please could you take some photographs BEFORE any changes are made and then take more DURING and AFTER the project (ideally taken from the same spot) so that we are able to have a verifiable record of Wadhurst and its environs as it was and as it becomes.
