Binsted Strawberry Fair Sunday 23rd July 2017

24/7/2017

 
The 30th Binsted Strawberry Fair was held in the special setting of a flint 19th Century threshing barn, in Binsted Lane, surrounded by the beautiful Sussex countryside. Members of Worthing Archaeological Society have regularly had a stall at this unique fair. We set up our display collection of finds dating from early Palaeolithic stone tools to Post Medieval tiles and pottery.
We were welcomed by Mike Tristram, who lent us another gazebo to keep us dry; other stall holders lent us an umbrella and some pegs to stop our table cloth and membership forms from blowing away.
The squally English weather didn’t stop us having a fine afternoon. We had many visitors to our stall who were interested in all the WAS activities in Binsted local area. We answered questions about the Roman villa site in Walberton, the pottery kilns in Binsted and the Goblestubbs sites across the A27. Some of the visitors told us about their own finds, including pieces of pottery, flint tools and a polished flint axe, which they, their parents or grandparents, had found in fields nearby.
We had a delightful time meeting so many people interested in archaeology and appreciate the help from Society members and others. See you there next year!
Theresa
