Court in the Act by Victoria Seymour - Crime and Policing in WW2 Hastings

Court in the Act, which completes the trilogy, concentrates on the work of the police force, the magistrates' and other courts in WWII Hastings. As the effects of war took hold, there was hardly any aspect of home front life that was not controlled by some Government Act, Regulation or Order, putting even more pressure on already overworked police officers.

The Long Road to Lavender Cottage by Victoria Seymour


The now famous occupant of Lavender Cottage, Emilie Crane, returns, to let us back into her life and the daily doings of her neighbours on the Ridge. What was the truth about the supposed nudist colony opposite Lavender Cottage? Was the guest house close by really a haven for left wing agitators and a bolt hole for the scandalous occultist, Aleister Crowley?.

Victoria Seymour's The Long Road to Lavender Cottage
The Long Road to Lavender Cottage by Victoria Seymour


For over half century Hastings has been host to hundreds of thousands of young people from all over the world. Host Families Wanted, the true story of overseas English language students in Hastings, is approached with the enthusiasm for detail that my regular readers expect of me.

If you are a host family, have been, or are thinking of becoming one, this book is for you.
