Moving to Eastbourne?
Bang on the south coast, with weather conditions as balmy as they get in the UK,
Eastbourne has been settled throughout history. Stone Age flint mines and Bronze
Age artefacts have been found all over the area, and when the Romans invaded they
built villas, baths and roads. The Saxons called the village East Burne after a
small stream that still runs through Motcombe Gardens. The town grew steadily, unscathed
by the Norman Conquest, the Wars of the Roses and the Civil War. In 1793, after
a survey of coastal defences in the southeast, approval was given for the positioning
of infantry and artillery to defend the bay between Beachy Head and Hastings from
attack by the French. Fourteen Martello Towers were constructed along the western
shore of Pevensey Bay, along with Eastbourne Redoubt, an armoury, and the Wish Tower
remains an important landmark on Eastbourne’s seafront to this day.
The town was really kickstarted into life, however, when the Brighton, Lewes and
Hastings Rail Company built a branch line from Lewes to the sea. Doctors had decided
that sea air was beneficial to the health, and Eastbourne came to be known as “the
Empress of Watering Places”. Unlike its neighbouring resorts, it never really attracted
mass tourism: instead, the seventh Duke of Devonshire decided that this was the
perfect location for a town built “for gentlemen by gentlemen” and development proceeded
along those lines. From a population of 4,000 in 1851 it grew to over 30,000 in
1881 but still somehow retained a calm elegance that was lacking elsewhere. This
only came to an end during the Second World War, when the authorities decided that
Eastbourne was too much on the front line to be a safe holiday destination. A sharp
drop in the number of visitors led to the shutting of many hotels and schools, and
the town was effectively taken over by the military. These fears were not ungrounded:
it suffered the dubious distinction of being air-raided more than any other British
town.
Since the war, Eastbourne has become very popular with retirees but despite its
unglamorous reputation there are plenty of reasons to go. Firstly, it is the British
town with the most hours of recorded sunshine – 390 last year – and despite occasional
gales it tends to have a warm and pleasant climate. The seafront is charming, even
though it is entirely shingled, and there’s a pleasure pier halfway along it with
a nightclub, an amusement arcade, a glassblower and a tattoo parlour. The Bandstand
stages the 1812 Firework Night Concert and Proms nights as well as pop and jazz
events. Towner Art Gallery and Museum has an excellent collection of contemporary
art, which is complemented by the “How We Lived Then” Museum of Shops, where a range
of artefacts – old packages, coronation cups, toys – from the last hundred years
of consumerism is crammed into mock-up shops spread over several floors.
For lots of visitors, however, the highlight comes once you leave the town. The
South Downs are a series of chalk uplands cut by the sea into a dramatic series
of cliffs. Paragliding and skydiving are both very popular there but some prefer
simply to walk the South Downs Way along 5 km of gorgeous cliff paths, stopping
to stare and marvel. Two major landmarks are the Long Man of Wilmington, a carved
chalk figure, and Clayton Windmills. The most iconic place is of course Beachy Head.
