About the Book

In 16 articles, the book covers the life and times of Victorian Wadhurst in some detail. All Censuses are analysed in depth; local agriculture and the development of Wadhurst High Street are covered in detail. The lives of local residents and their occupations are recorded, as is the treatment of Wadhurst's poor. Churches and schools, the turnpike and tollgates, street lighting and the development of the railway all have played a major role in the way Wadhurst changed in Queen Victoria's reign. One major estate - Wadhurst Park - and a small group of High Street buildings are recorded in detail. Some 50 illustrations complete the picture - many have not been published before.
