Portraying one of England's finest seaside towns, this illustrated book provides a nostalgic look at Eastbourne's 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 nation's record of 12 million photographs, drawings and publications, ranging from the 1850s and the earliest days of photography up to the present day. Kevin Gordon 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 and glamour of some other seaside towns; even today there are no shops or amusement arcades along the sea front. This book provides a nostalgic trip through time and shows that Eastbourne is still the Empress of the South.
