Life in
Rother in the 30s, 40s and 50s
Have you
lived in Rother any time during the 30s, 40s
and 50s? If so
we would love to hear from you.
We are a
local
group engaged in a National Heritage project in partnership
with Rother District Council and others to explore people's
memories and stories about life in rural Rother from
1930-1960.
If you
are interested
and would like to know more, please call Jane on

Trading Standards - Dallington calls time on doorstep
callers
The
village
of Dallington in East Sussex is leading the fight against
rogue
traders by being the first in the County to be designated as
a ‘No
Cold Calling Zone’.
East Sussex County Council’s Trading Standards
Service, the Safer
Rother Partnership, In Touch Home Improvements Agency
Hastings
and Rother and Sussex Police are working together to set up
the Zone and are calling
on Dallington Villagers to take part.
Setting up a No Cold Calling Zone is a warning to cold
callers
to stay away and a way of informing residents about ways
to deal with unexpected callers. The village now has
new signs
to warn cold callers about the scheme.
The
Zone was officially launched by the Safer Rother Partnership
at
the Village Hall, Old School, in Dallington on Thursday 22
June 2007. If you want
advice about crime prevention you can obtain a No Cold
Calling
Zone Pack from your Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator.
Cheapest
Petrol Prices
I have found the
following website which I think is very useful. It
tells you where the cheapest petrol and diesel are being sold
in our
area.
You register
on the website (it's free). Go to the Home Page, type in your
Postcode
and whatever radius you want it to cover and for
which type of fuel, unleaded, diesel etc and it gives you
the day's cheapest pump prices.
Well worth a look I think.

Dallington
Postcard
We
have produced a sepia-toned postcard showing the
schoolchildren
in the Street, Dallington c1900. To my knowledge this image
has never been reproduced before. Some people in the village
have already bought some copies, but we would like to sell
more to try and get our money back for printing costs, plus
give any profits to the church.
Cards costs 20p each or 12 for
£2 and can be bought from Mrs Lyon, Old Rectory,
Dallington,
TN21 9NH or from the church (please put money in tin
provided).
