Course Description

NOT BASED IN THE WHITEWAY CENTRE

A series of five field trips into Sussex landscapes, urban and rural. Students may need to car share, as we are visiting two spots not easily reached by public transport. 
We hope to visit central Brighton, a suburb, Firle Park, Shoreham, and a Wealden location.

Your Tutor

An Associate Tutor with the Geography team at the University of Sussex from where I thought I had retired...10 years ago! I specialise in the landscapes of SE England, in both urban and rural areas and I did my doctorate in the suburban growth of the interwar period. I taught adult education for nearly 30 years at Sussex where I worked in the Landscape Studies degree team and was Convenor for Local History. I give talks across SE England to a wide range of groups, from universities to local history societies, WI groups , U3A, Probus and Round Tables. I teach also for the Workers Educational Association and run weekly classes at local community centres. The most requested from my range of talks are those that combine social history, geography, geology and a 'sense of place'.
