The Art Society Arun Monthly Talk - Unravelling the Silk Road

The Arts Society Arun, Rustington

Our talk this month is by Chris Aslan - Unravelling the Silk Road
Wool, silk, and cotton have each played a part in the fortunes of Central Asia. Silk was more valuable than gold and used as a currency, creating a network of trading routes that led to globalisation . Silk Road products stratified wealth , displayed religious and political entrenchments and changed the fortunes of this part of the world

Doors open 9.30am. Everyone welcome. Guests £7 on the door. Coffee & biscuits available. Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month.

Dr Frances Hurd is a historical researcher living in Chichester. She has worked in publishing, academia and the heritage sector.

FRANK’S WAR

Rustington Heritage Association, Rustington

A talk by Matthew Jones (Assistant County Archivist) on the Second World War Home Front in Bognor Regis. When war broke out, photographer Frank L’Alouette was unable to join up due to a heart condition, but he obtained a Ministry of Information Permit and was able to capture some of the wartime events in and around Bognor Regis. His several hundred photographs show the impact and the experiences of Bognor Regis as a town and community during the war. The West Sussex Record Office has held Frank’s collection since 2012 and Matthew Jones will show a selection of these images in his presentation, which follows the RHA AGM.

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 an RHA member? Just £15 per person per annum for free entry to all our talks in 2026.
