Oral Histories
The POP project was invited to ETC Sussex in March to talk
to their group members.
Education Training Consortium Sussex (etc sussex) was formed
in 2008 to meet the training and education needs of people from marginalised
communities. Amongst their great work they run English, Maths and IT classes
for people whose first language is not English and offer support to help
encourage integration into the community.
We were welcomed wholeheartedly into their class and were
privileged to have been shared some personal histories of contemporary
migration to Sussex. These recorded conversations gave a valuable insight to
the struggles endured by those seeking a better life and the joy, hope and
success it can bring. These collected oral histories form our heritage of today
and will be archived for future generations to access.

Migration for Work
Migration for Work focused on people who had moved to the
U.K and to the region and made a contribution to the development of the area.
The students were introduced to archive material relating to
a Roman Empire iron works situated in the Hastings area. The site was under the
control of Classis Britannica, the
provincial navel fleet of ancient Rome. Part of this archive in the stored
collected at Bexhill Museum are the excavated remains of a bath house from the
site. Along with clay tiles, the remains
include “opus caementicium”, Roman concrete, a new technology migrated to
Britain.
This material inspired the project group to compare the lives of three people who worked extensively in concrete material and built significant structures in the region and left enduring legacies.
