Portraits
LightKeep is creating a portrait and oral-history archive of older people from Rottingdean, Saltdean, Ovingdean and the surrounding villages. Each portrait will be accompanied by a filmed conversation and a written account, preserving the lives and memories that shaped this place.
Who do you know?
LightKeep is in its earliest stages. The archive you see here is just the beginning.
We are actively looking for the next people whose stories deserve to be told — older residents of Rottingdean, Saltdean, Ovingdean and the surrounding villages who carry memories worth preserving. People who remember the place as it was. People with lives that should not be forgotten.
If you know someone — or if that someone is you — we would love to hear from you.
