Description
Eastbourne's transformation from a collection of villages to a thriving resort town is a story worth exploring. In the 19th century, the Duke of Devonshire played a key role in developing the town, which quickly grew into a large borough.
The town's history has not been without its challenges, however. During World War II, Eastbourne suffered greatly due to its proximity to occupied France, with repeated air raids and significant loss of life and buildings. Despite these difficulties, the town has continued to evolve and adapt, becoming a popular conference centre and home to a new marina.
This book offers a fascinating insight into Eastbourne's rich heritage, from its special events and important moments to its notable characters and attractions. Illustrated throughout, it provides a valuable contribution to the history of the town and will be of interest to those who have known Eastbourne well over the years.
