We invite you to add your own impressions to our interactive database.

Invitation to Contribute…

The website was initiated as a response to the hundreds of friends of David Watkin who wished to contribute to an archive of memories of this remarkable man. The editors are the designer Rachael Adams and the historian Chris Mullen who were in contact with him in Brighton on a weekly, often daily, basis.

Copyright of the words and images to be found here is held by the editors from their personal collection, and by contributing friends and colleagues who have answered the appeal.

DW’s Autobiographies

Sadly, the remaining stock of the two volumes of David Watkin's autobiography has been destroyed.

However limited numbers remain, which will become available for sale shortly.
