According to the 1901 census my Gt Grandfather Arthur FREEMAN, was Foreman at an Ice Factory in Brighton. He lived at 'Ice Works Cottage' in Aldrington which I believe is between Hove and Portslade, I'm not sure if this was one cottage, but I assume probably one of a number owned by the Ice Works. I would be fascinated to find out any more about the Ice Factories, and if anyone has any links with my FREEMAN, who prior to Hove lived in Portsmouth. My grandmother being Lillian Mary FREEMAN, who married a FUIDGE and lived in Ringmer. I do recall her telling me about seeing the ice being brought in from Norway I think to the harbour. Regards, Richard Adams, Bucks, England.
