The Museum is housed in Martello Tower no. 74, which is situated at the eastern end of Seaford seafront. Nicknamed the 'Tardis' by its visitors, there is a deceptive 5,000 square feet of display area, which includes the roof with cannon, entrance floor with museum shop, the lower floor of the tower and the covered dry moat area. There are fantastic collections of domestic appliances, a large radio & TV collection, and several tableaux showing lifestyles in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Local history collections include archives of old pictures and documents, and a registry of Seaford houses.
