Local history articles about Hove in August and October 2024 Hovarian magazine. If you have yet to visit the Elaine Evans Archaeology Gallery at Brighton Museum, hopefully "Stone Age flint lost" will persuade you to put it on your to do list!

On 6th June 1944 (80 years ago), the largest armada ever assembled in human history left the south coast of England.

Read this local history article written for the Hove Civic Society and the June 2024 Hovarian magazine to find out what was happening in Hove at that time.

Photographs are courtesy of Imperial War Museum (Princess Elizabeth inspecting tank crews on the Kingsway) and 'Royal Pavilion & Museums, Brighton & Hove' (Men of the King Alfred on parade on the seafront and training in Aldrington Basin).

Finally sunny days are here! I am a local historian and run a small number of local history walking tours in Hove every year. I wrote them with locals in mind but people from all over the world have enjoyed coming on them too! I am probably only doing these 4 dates this year but may do a couple more in August if I find the time. I will probably also do my annual tour about the First World War & Poets Corner in November (as a fundraiser for the Poppy Appeal) so look out for that one in the autumn.

Since the centenary of the 1918 Armistice, I have run this tour of Poets' Corner every autumn (donating half of the ticket price to the Poppy Appeal). A look into the lives of the Poets' Corner community during 1914-18, discover the history of the buildings we walk past every day without a second thought, and the men who left to fight for King and Country.
