Do you recognise anyone in this Bexhill 1945 Victory Tea photo?

Date:

A Bexhill News reader is hoping to shed light on a piece of local history captured in this charming old photograph from May 1945.

Anne Anderson has shared an image taken outside what was then known as St. Mark’s Institute,  now St. Mark’s Church Hall in Little Common.

It shows a large group of children dressed for a special ‘Victory Tea’. The event was held to mark the end of the Second World War in Europe, shortly after D-Day, for 200 local children.

Anne, who appears in the photograph as a two-year-old, is hoping to reconnect with others who might be in the picture, or who recognise a friend or relative among the faces.

If you spot someone you know, please get in touch with the editor by emailing letters@bexhill.news.
