In 1897 the Borough Council adopted the 1891 Museums and Gymnasiums Act, and later the authority assumed responsibility for the Society collections. Although building of the town's new Civic Centre began in the 1930s, the Second World War delayed until 1954 moving of the Museum to the purpose-built Library and Museum building which it now occupies.

One of the Seven Wonders of the Weald, Lamberhurst Vineyard, is one of the oldest vineyards in Kent.  Established in 1972, it is set amongst 20 acres of outstanding beauty with views over Bayham Abbey. The north facing position of the vines ensures that the harvest is a couple of weeks later than south facing vineyards and more importantly reduces the amount of frost damage early in the growing season.  Our expert Viticulturalist grows bacchus, pinot noir, rondo, regent and Ortega amongst others.

Pooh Bridge
Ashdown Forest, Hartfield, East Sussex
One of the most famous landmarks on The Ashdown Forest, Pooh Bridge was restored in 1979 by the National Westminster Bank and DLS Ltd., for East Sussex County Council. So popular is the game of ‘Poohsticks’ that the surrounding area has been denuded of twigs and small branches by the thousands of visitors to the site. In the latter part of 1999 the bridge was totally rebuilt - funded by public donations, the East Sussex County Council and The Countryside Commission. An approach to The Disney Foundation for contributions caused great disquiet among the local people who wanted to keep their famous bridge ‘British’. The original bridge was built in 1907 by J.C. Osman.
