| | Sterling Times ,_"the virtual scrapbook of British nostalgia",
is here in celebration of "Uncool Britannia". It's the site where etiquette is still more important than political correctness. SterlingTimes focuses upon some of the eccentricities of British culture. It's about old and vintage radio, television, music and literature. It's about Englishness and patriotism. | | | |

emigrated from Neustadt _ in Lithuania in 1870. He arrived poor in South Africa, initially working as a
pedlar. In 1871, he set off with his partner, Sammy Marks, to what was to become the Kimberley diamond mine. He traded in scarce goods and then in diamonds. Lewis and Marks moved from success to success becoming largely responsible for the industrialisation of the Transvaal. | |  | | | | Go to Stephen Lewis' Genealogy Page . _ He owned _ Bedgebury Park
