The Museum
The experiment of opening the museum, in South Street on
Thursday evenings, not having proved successful, it has been decided to abandon
it.
A Shocking accident to a Felpham man
Information received at Eastbourne, on Monday night, that a
person had been fearfully crushed by a train on the Eastbourne and Polegate
Line ... the sufferer was still alive, proving to be one of the porters, named
William Medhurst, who is stationed at Polegate Junction. As far as can be
learned, he was in the act of leaving Polegate for his home, going along the
line, when the Eastbourne train came upon him unawares, and ran over his body.
Medhurst (who is native of Felpham) ... 21 years old ... When found he
presented a shocking sight...
...amputated lower high of his body, but brain undamaged.
