Objects

Museums in West Sussex have many thousands of artefacts, objects, costumes and supporting ephemera and images from the Victorian period. Chichester District, Horsham and Littlehampton museums all offer a Schools Loan Box service and Worthing Museum and Art Gallery has a well-developed schools programme involving visits to schools and sessions in the museum. 

See also 'Local History Mini-Guide to Sources: No.14 Victorian West Sussex' (West Sussex County Council, 2002), which contains details of many more sources for further research and has sections on the home, school, church, leisure, work, industry and trade, town hall, railways and transport, plus book lists and details of museum services. It may be bought for £2.50 at any public library, at the West Sussex Record Office, or order it online using our eshop (temporarily unavailable).
