Historic England: Eastbourne & Around

This illustrated history portrays one of Englandís finest seaside towns. It provides a nostalgic look at Eastbourneís past and highlights the special character of some of its most important historic sites. The photographs are taken from the unique Historic England Archive, the nationís record of 12 million photographs, drawings and publications, ranging from the 1850s and the earliest days of photography up to the present day.??Historic England: Eastbourne shows the town as it once was, from its streets and squares to its parks and promenades. It remains a genteel resort with none of the glitz, glamour and ëkiss-me-quicknessí of other seaside towns; even today there are no shops or amusement arcades along the seafront. This book provides a nostalgic trip through time and shows that Eastbourne is still the ëEmpress of the Southí.
