    Record Source: they moved to live on a "Land Settlement" scheme at Keynor Estate, Sidlesham, Chichester, Sussex. Peggy's brother John lived with them for a time, and was a Lorry Driver. During the depression of the 1930's more than 1,000 unemployed Miners and Shipbuilders from the north-east of England were given the opportunity to move to one of 20 LSAs (Land Settlement Associations) across England to begin new lives as Market Gardeners. Sidlesham, a village south of Chichester in West Sussex, was the largest LSA, with 120 smallholdings - each tenant had a house, a piggery, chicken battery, a glasshouse, and four acres of land.
