@bexhillmuseum.bsky.socialI took this picture of the Manor Gardens in #Bexhill Old Town, yesterday afternoon. This telephone (c.1892) in our collection was from the days when this site contained the Manor House. It was the first telephone in Bexhill and as such was used to contact other buildings on the site itself.
@bexhillmuseum.bsky.social"The Colonnade, Bexhill-On-Sea." c.1930 postcard sent 18.9.1935. The Coastguard Cottages are still there so the photograph is before 1934. #Colonnade #Bexhill #Sussex #Seaside #Holiday #Bandstand #History #1930s
@bexhillmuseum.bsky.socialOn Saturday 26th September the museum is hosting a talk called Where the Bodies Are Buried - Finding the Norman Dead. It runs from 2-4.20 with a refreshment break of 20 minutes. It’s an illustrated presentation by David Dennis. The cost is £15 and includes refreshments. #Bexhill
@bexhillmuseum.bsky.socialThis patch was flown on the second flight of Discovery - STS 51-A. It is on display in our transport gallery. (Sorry about the reflection in the photograph.) #Bexhill
@bexhillmuseum.bsky.socialThis event is tonight. It’s always one of the most popular events we run but we still have a few places left if you want to attend. Why not give us a ring? #Bexhill #IndianFood
