Elegant Eastbourne has a
reputation for attracting members of the older
generation.
Nevertheless it is a most
attractive family resort with fine parks and
flowery borders.
Lying on the East Sussex
coast it was created in the 1830s by the local
lord of the manor, the Duke of Devonshire, who
designed the seafront.
The pier was added later. Behind the parish
church is a lake formed from the ‘bourne’
stream, which gave the place its name. |
