Littlehampton Museum is delighted to open a new micro-exhibition in the Museum’ Butterworth Gallery, exploring the true story behind the Wicked Little Letters film.
The falling out of two friends living in Western Road, Littlehampton in the 1920s led to a fascinating and bizarre series of events, involving libellous letters, false accusations, and prison sentences. Curated by one of the Museum volunteers, and featuring local characters and places, this exhibit reveals details of the real-life case – the police investigations, the multiple trials and the convictions.
