The photo popped up on a local Facebook group. It shows the funeral procession of Albert George Sheppard in 1909. The photo simply says 'Naval Volunteer Funeral' but from the number of people in attendance in the High Street, I assume that the man was of some importance locally.
Can anyone provide more details on the man and his Newhaven connections?
