Abstract
IN THE PERIOD 1925 to 1927, at the request of Viscountess Wolseley, the Corporation of Hove erected and equipped at Hove Central Library at a cost of £1100 a room known as Viscountess Wolseley's Room. This room, established and endowed by Viscountess Wolseley, was dedicated to the study of agriculture and horticulture. It was built on the site of a former roof garden; semicircular in design, it was intended to be the repository of books, prints, documents and other objects which would form sources of local history. The official opening was on 31 July 1928, and to mark the opening Viscountess Wolseley arranged a series of exhibitions to display aspects of social life in Sussex in bygone days.
