“Bridlington was a favourite resort of Engels and while there on July 29th 1881 he wrote to Marx about the excellence of the beer to be found on a little cafe on the pier. The bitter he noted had a head on it like German beer.”

Yesterday: footpath along bay of #Rowfant Mill pond, orig dug for Rowfant Forge in 1556 by Robert Whitfield. Old PC towards bay. Later the site was converted to a cornmill, one of the Heasmans' (East Grinstead) mills. Beautiful place. TQ316378

Someone asked me recently about swimming in hammer or furnace ponds. Please don’t, ever.
Contact a local wild swimming club for details of safe locations.

Went to Bexhill Museum for the first time yesterday. Absolute delight to see LS Lowry’s ‘Old Windmill, Bexhill, East Sussex (Hoad's Mill)’ (1960) in the flesh.

And the rest of the museum was really interesting too - so much on display, not just in terms of the number of objects…

Pleased to say the #WealdenIron Research Group is back, now it’s spring, at their smelting experiments in Pippingford, #Sussex
