SUMMARY:Talk - The Mystery of the Haberdasher’s Scissors
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Alison Habens and Matt Wingett \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWriters and researchers\, Alison Habens and Matt Wingett\, claim to have discovered an extraordinary fact: three famous literary figures of the 19th Century\, H.G.Wells\, Arthur Conan Doyle and Rudyard Kipling met each other in the early 1880s\, in the Old Drapery Bazaar\, Hide’s Emporium\, on King’s Road in Southsea. Even more amazing\, they were involved in a dark mystery that might have come straight from one of their own stories. Hear it unfold\, through a series of extracts from their autobiographies\, solve a few clues yourself – and work out where the boundary between true history and pure invention sits. \n\n\n\nAlison Habens \n\n\n\nAlison is best known for her novels Dreamhouse\, Lifestory and The True Picture.  She is a lecturer in creative writing at the University of Portsmouth and leads the Portsmouth Writers Hub; a community interest company that brings University writers and writing groups together. \n\n\n\nMatt Wingett \n\n\n\nMatt Wingett is the publisher\, editor\, designer\, local historian rare book dealer and general dog’s body of Life Is Amazing\, dedicated to publishing books.  He has always been interested in writing\, having started his first story when he was six years old. At various times since then\, he has looked back\, wondered what the hell he was doing spending so much time writing instead of having a life\, given up\, taught English in Egypt\, came back again\, ran a computer company and a successful rare book dealership – and finally thrown up his hands in defeat and said: “I give up! I can’t help writing\, so I’ll have to just get on with it.” \n\n\n\nTickets: You must book a ticket in advance to be sure of entry. Tickets are available for £5 each only from Bookends\, 7 High Street\, Emsworth\, PO10 7AQ. Seats are unreserved.

SUMMARY:Exhibition - Ripping Yarns and the Tale of the Forgotten Author – The Story of Percy F. Westerman
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition charting the life and works of Percy F. Westerman\, one of Britain’s most prolific writers of children’s adventure books is coming to Emsworth Museum.  The exhibition\, which opens on September 2nd\, 2023\, includes books and ephemera from the Westerman Yarns Collection\, belonging to Nigel Gossop who has been collecting and researching the books and life of the Portsmouth born author for more than thirty years.  \n\n\n\nPercy F. Westerman knew Emsworth well; for many years he was a familiar sight out on the water\, participating in various sailing regattas and events.  Before he embarked on his career as a writer of books for children\, he wrote extensively of his sailing experiences for the popular yachting press and in 1905 was a founder member of the Fareham Sailing Club. \n\n\n\nThe Ripping Yarns: and the Tale of the Forgotten Author exhibition was last shown at Emsworth Museum in April 2014\, but since then there are some additional panels that explore some of the 30 books written by Westerman about the First World War; many written and published while the conflict was still being fought. \n\n\n\nDuring the 1930’s Percy F. Westerman was voted Britain’s most popular children’s writer in a national poll organised through public libraries and was featured in a Pathé Newsreel film and shown in cinemas.  By the time of his death in 1959 he had written more than 170 books and numerous short stories and serials for magazines that included The Boy’s Own Paper and The Scout.   One of the features of the Ripping Yarns exhibition is the range and scope of the cover and dust wrapper illustrations designed to attract generations of young readers to pick the books off the shelves. Famous artists including Terrance Cuneo and Rowland Hilder were among more than 60 artists/illustrators whose work helped to bring Westerman’s words to life.  The exhibition curator\, Nigel Gossop of the Westerman Yarns will be in attendance during the opening morning and will happy to meet and discuss any aspect of the exhibition.

SUMMARY:Demonstration - Rope Making
DESCRIPTION:Members of Emsworth Museum demonstrate rope making using a rope walk.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRope making was a thriving industry in Emsworth for more than 200 years. Christopher Day is recorded as having a rope making business here in 1714. The manufacture of cordage was a profitable concern in the days of wooden ships and sail but sadly no industrial rope making exists in the town today. The industry dwindled in the period between the two world wars.Before he died Bob Lewis\, son of John Lewis of Carter Sons and Lewis\, gifted a rope making jack to the museum and over the winter of 2021/2022 Trevor Davies\, helped by the staff at Bridport Museum\, designed a small rope making walk for Emsworth Museum. Although on a very small scale it is an indication of how the 200 metres Emsworth rope walk that ran parallel to the Slipper Millpond from the Sussex Brewery pub to the Slipper Mill would have looked.Rope making Demonstrations will be at the following times: \n\n\n\n\nSaturday July 29th: 11:00 AM; 12:00 AM; 1:00 PM; 2:00 PM; 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM\n\n\n\nSunday July 30th: 2:00 PM; 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM\n\n\n\n\nThe rope making demonstrations that were held during the weekend of 2nd/3rd July 2022 were very successful and are being repeated on 29th/30th July this year.

SUMMARY:Exhibition - Coastal Archaeology (Archaeology on the Coastal Plain)
DESCRIPTION:The increasingly extreme weather is eroding our coastline revealing features of historic interest which are then swept away. Chichester and District Archaeology Society runs regular monitoring programmes to record these changes.

SUMMARY:Exhibition - Brickmaking in Emsworth and the Local Area
DESCRIPTION:Brickmaking in EmsworthBefore the widespread use of the internal combustion engine brick making was a localised activity. Seams of clay suitable for making bricks run through Emsworth\, Rowlands Castle and Hayling Island and they have been exploited since the Roman period. Often brick making was seasonal and incorporated into the annual farming cycle. This exhibition explains the traditional brick making process using photographs from the Pycroft brick making business on Hayling Island. The source of the bricks used to construct the Museum building is identified.Dates:April 1st\, 2nd\, 7th\, 8th\, 9th\, 10th\, 15th\, 16thMay 6th\, 7th\, 8th\, 13th\, 14th\, 20th\, 21st
