Index to "Angmering - Reminiscences of bygone days"
The Angmering Society's book "Angmering - Reminiscences of bygone days" was published on 31 May 2003. It contains fascinating memories of Angmering villagers over a hundred year period from the 1850s to the 1950s. School days, the war years, village characters, buildings, organisations and everyday life in Angmering are all remembered by the many contributors, past and present. It also contains a village location map, 20 illustrations of buildings by local artists, and a substantial index.
To assist researchers, the index of the book is shown below.
You can read a few of these reminiscences by clicking here.
