Abstract:Peacehaven and Telscombe Through Time is a unique insight into the illustrious history of this part of the country. Reproduced in full colour, this is an exciting examination of both towns, the famous streets and the famous faces, and what they meant to the people of Peacehaven and Telscombe throughout the 19th and into the 20th Century. Looking beyond the exquisite exterior of these well-kept photos, readers can see the historical context in which they are set, and through the author's factual captions for every picture and carefully-selected choice of images, the reader can achieve a reliable view of the history of these two towns. Readers are invited to follow a timeline of events and watch the changing faces of Peacehaven and Telscombe, as Stanley Bernard guides us through the streets of these beautiful towns. There is something for everyone here, whether they have lived in this area all their lives, or whether they are just visiting these towns. It also shows how photography has continually evolved to keep up with an ever changing society.
Review by Geoffrey Mead in Sussex Past & Present no. 119, December 2009:This is a volume of 'then and now' images of the two communities of Peacehaven and Telscombe and as the author is a past president of the local history society he has a close knowledge of the area. In the 21st century there is more emphasis on the history of suburbs rather than purely 'historic' urban and rural communities. Peacehaven, long reviled by the architectural elite (who do not live there) is home to a large and growing community, it deserves reasoned recording, as it has undergone great changes both in appearance and (confusingly) road naming. Some key buildings in the early life of the settlement have been demolished, The Peacehaven Hotel is one example, and precious few of the original domestic structures have survived. Stanley Bernard has used vintage illustrations from a variety of sources and has taken 21st century images from as close a spot as was possible to the original. Local knowledge has enabled him to spot small but significant landscape features which to the untrained eye would be lost in the present day urban scene.
The volume starts with the village of Telscombe and goes on to chart its unspectacular changes before crossing The Tye to the coast road where the early 20th century growth was an example of the dispersed suburbs that developed rapidly in the immediate post First World War landscape.
The lack of a map to locate the scenes is a drawback and there needed to be some form of 'further reading' especially as the author has published earlier volumes on this locality.
