Women's Land Army in Sussex

Arundel Museum, Arundel

War affected every section of society, not just the military. More food needed to be produced and, as men were recruited into the armed services, there were fewer hands to do the work. At the same time, farmers were being pressed to convert more land to arable from pasture. Women had always been involved in agriculture, horticulture and forestry, but now their contribution was critical…

This exhibition will explore the practicalities of how the Land Army was organised, the key figures involved and some of the challenges that were encountered along the way. Despite the misgivings, and sometimes the hostility, of politicians, civil servants, landowners, farmers, trade unions and foresters, who doubted that women would be able to undertake the range of farm work, and very often failed to give WLA leaders and volunteers the credit and recognition they, the women of ‘the Cinderella service’, deserved.

With thanks to Dr John Godfrey for his writing and research for this exhibition.

The exhibition has been generously sponsored by Oakland Grange and Oakland Court Care Homes.

Entry to the exhibition is included in your Museum entry ticket.

(Times when it is not open - Each Wednesday morning and others, please call to check)

MAGNUS VOLK AND HIS AMAZING RAILWAYS An illustrated talk by Ian Gledhill

Rustington Heritage Association, Rustington

Volk’s Electric Railway is a familiar sight in Brighton, running along the beach from near the Palace Pier towards the Marina, but the story of the man behind it is less well known. Magnus Volk was a true pioneer of all things electrical, and he built not one but two electric railways in Brighton. One – the short lived “Daddy Long Legs” - is long gone, but the original railway, opened in 1883, is still going strong and is now officially the oldest working electric railway in the world. This talk by Ian Gledhill tells the story of the railways and the man who built them.

Entry is free for paid up members of Rustington Heritage Association. Visitors £5 (cash only) payable at the door. All admissions subject to availability of seats on arrival. Why not become a member? Just £15 per person per annum for free entry to all our talks in 2026.

Please note this is an evening meeting, so if you’re unable to attend our monthly afternoon meetings, perhaps we’ll see you this time? There will also be an afternoon meeting on 14th May, on a different topic.
