It was the largest defence work ever built in Sussex and is now open as a museum. As the manager of Newhaven Fort from 1987 until 2001, Ian talks about its military history and the trials and tribulations of converting this Scheduled Ancient Monument into a popular visitor attraction. Ian Everest worked on farms before attending Agricultural College in the late 1960’s. After further agricultural related work, he had a change of direction in 1987, when he became manager of Newhaven Fort and prepared the scheduled monument for opening to visitors the following year. During 1985 he started researching his family history and this on-going activity has led to the development of these local history talks.
