Seaford Museum, Local history museum in Martello Tower, Seaford, England
The museum occupies a two-story round tower structure with 500 square meters of exhibition space surrounded by a brick-lined dry moat.
Built between 1806 and 1810 as part of coastal defenses during Napoleonic Wars, the tower transformed into a museum in 1979 under Lewes District Council.
The museum maintains an extensive collection of maritime artifacts and domestic items that document the development of Seaford through different periods.
The facility opens on weekends from November to March, with additional Wednesday openings during other months, offering supervised access to document archives monthly.
The moat floor, which once served as a roller skating rink in the 1930s, now functions as an integral part of the exhibition space.
