Chris Ball 22 Dec 2007		Packham Hi Eric, I have sent you an email and a couple of pics from Australia. Hope you receive it ok. Look forward to hearing from you. Chris B

Eric Streeton 12 Dec 2007		Packham Hi Chris, Greetings from Sussex Mate. What a surprise to hear from you, of courses I remember you. Please feel free to get in touch at this mail address. estreeton@talktalk.net All the best for now Eric Streeton.

Chris Ball 12 Dec 2007		Packham Hi Eric, Not sure if can remember me from Winchelsea. You used to knock around with my older brother David Ball. If you are the Eric (father named Ted) that I knew, you would know that David passed away a few years ago now, and Mum (Eveline) a few months ago. Do you still live around near Barrack Square? I think it was Spring Steps or something! The Carmens and Whitings lived across from you. I've lived in Australia since 1982 with Barb and two daughters, and havent been back to Winchelsea since then. David worked at Wickham Farm when it was run by Freemans. The name Packham certainly rings a bell, but I'm still trying to remember them. They would have lived around the corner from us in School Hill and Barlings the grocers. Well I'll go for now. I look forward to hearing from you. If you want to chat more let me know and I will send my email address. All the best, Chris Ball

Sally Gross 18 Oct 2007		History of Winchelsea Does anyone know of any books on the history of Winchelsea from late 18th century onwards, particularly the lace making community.

Ian Elmes 7 Oct 2007		Winter Letting Required Hi there. I am seeking to rent a property for the winter period, somewhere I can bring my son to stay with me during the weekends. (I'm going through a seperation!) Looking from December 2007 to February / March 2007. Maybe you have a holiday let that is available during the winter months. Somewhere near the beach would be great (The Ridge at Winchelsea Beach would be ideal!!!) Anyone know of anything?

Cathy Sharp 20 Jul 2007		Accomodation....Newspapers... Hi, I am looking for a property too and I know how frustrating it is... There are 3 newspapers I know of that may help. 2 of them are free. There is the Wealden Advertiser, there is a section on properties. And there is FridayAd, found in most shops/news agents. Also there is the Observer usually around 38p they come out every friday. Hope this can be of some help. Thanks.

Eric Streeton 19 Jul 2007		Packham Hi John, I remember two Packham Families that lived in Winchelsea. I’m sure that it was Archie who lived in the high street opposite the church, and he worked at Wickham Farm. Also I am sure that there was a Mrs Packham there at one time. The other Packham Family lived in Mill Road at the Salutation Cottages. Unfortunately I cannot remember the parent’s names, Once again I think the Father worked at Wickham Farm also. I do remember they had a Daughter whose name I believe to have been Christine. Their Son’s name was Denis and used to go around with our little group of youngsters. I hope this is of use to you. All the best, Eric.
