As many know the history of Hooe was researched and recorded by John James Newport and published in the book “Records of Hooe”. Little of the late 19th and 20th century IS recorded, so We Felt that now was the time to make a start before it was too late. we hope to collect photographs, of people and events which have taken place in Hooe, and welcome for our archives Newspaper cuttings of events that have taken place in the village, along stories of Hooe and its inhabitants. If you have anything that you feel would be interesting about Hooe please share it with us, AS I am sure we are only beginning to scratch the surface!
OUR NEXT MEETING
Is at the beautiful St. Oswald's Church Hooe on Thursday 18th of June 2026 at 7.30pm.
'Beside the Seaside', Ken Brooks
Coastal towns became popular in the 18th century
when doctors began to recommend the health benefits of sea air and sea water. We will take a nostalgic look at the
attractions of the seaside from Victorian times to the present day. These will include the pier bathing machines,
Pierrots, paddle steamers, fashions and local characters, such as Biddy the
tubman.
