A museum of local history of this ancient Cinque Port town, housed in a historic Martello Tower at the eastern end of Seaford's seafront. The unusual museum building has been nicknamed 'The Tardis', presumably because the interior displays far more than the exterior would suggest!
The museum exhibits include historic tableaux illustrating subjects ranging from prehistoric times to WWII. Included are a Victorian chemist's shop, a grocers, toyshop, ironmonger, and a wartime kitchen.
In addition, see wireless equipment, early office equipment, and a scale model of Seaford railway station in 1926. There is also a collection telling the history of shipwrecks in the Seaford area.
A special feature of the museum is a register of all the houses in Seaford, with their histories.
