The group decided we were going focus on Martha Gunn as part of our documentary. Martha Gunn was probably one of the most famous dippers. Dippers were operators of bathing machines which was a device that was put in to the ocean where people would either sit or lye down in then be waded about. It was made for health benefits of men and women who would be separated so they didn't catch each other in their swimwear. Martha Gunn was large and strong which was a requirement of being a dipper. When looking in to Martha Gunn, I came across a site called VisitBrighton.com which had a video of the managing director - Paul Smith - talking about how he believes Martha Gunn is one of the ultimate heros of Brighton. I believe he would be an interesting person to interview after watching this video.
