Lewes has a rich industrial heritage, much evidence of which still survives. Sue will look at key sectors; why they developed and also the causes of their decline, for example the brewing industry. From the 1830’s Lewes had to try hard to maintain its regional standing and grew slowly, in spite of the number of railway lines. We shall explore some possible reasons for this lack of rapid growth and the reduction in processing – for example breweries.
