Do you remember when?

1908

ONE of the most interesting features that will mark the celebration of the municipal New Year could be that of the foundation stone-laying of the Town Hall Extension. It is expected that this ceremony will take place in the first week of February and the foundation stone will be laid by the little Lord Buckhurst, heir to the De La Warr Estate, and grandson of our esteemed Mayor, Lord Brassey. The occasion should be a memorable one, and no doubt will form an unique function.

IT was an exceedingly jolly time that members of the Bexhill Working Men's Club spent on Monday evening, at their headquarters, 76 Station Road, when a Christmas entertainment was given. The club rooms were prettily decorated with ferns and flowers, lent by Mr. Bance, of Amherst Road, holly and other greens, and presented a most attractive appearance. About 8 o'clock, fifty men sat down to a substantial meat tea.

A JOYFUL musical prelude to Christmas was provided by Bexhill Choral Society when they presented their annual concert of carols for choir and audience at the De La Warr Pavilion on Sunday afternoon. More than 700 attended and were voluble in their appreciation.

SEVERAL instances of people posting mail without the full address have been reported by the Assistant Postmaster (Mr. A. Skinner). Some items received for delivery gave a name and just a flat number in roads where there are several blocks of flats! All were correctly delivered.
