- Colin Huggett was born in the village of Hankham on the edge of Pevensey Marshes; spending the majority of his life working as an agricultural engineer serving local farms, as well as some further afield.
His roots are well entrenched within the area and his concern for its wildlife is widely known.
Colin has taken part in Southern Television's (now Meridian) "Country Ways" programme with Jim Flegg, and the B.B.Cs Natural History Series "Nature Detectives", concerning the Fen Raft Spider on Pevensey Levels. He has also been part of English Nature Wildlife Enhancement Scheme, including discussions on B.B.Cs Radio 4s "Costing the Earth".
His book "A place in time" reveals only a part of the lives of those local people who contributed so much to a wonderful way of life and stood firm during those dark days of 1939/45, and beyond.
