Pictures of Eastbourne

 Here are 3 pictures of Eastbourne sea front. They always had beautiful gardens on the upper level of the promenade, and over the road are all the hotels for the holiday season. The town used to be crowded with 'trippers' in our growing-up years. A good place to stay, as you could just walk over the road to the beach, and behind the hotels is the town centre. A very central place for everything, including the cinemas, theatre, and entertainment on the pier
       

 The Bandstand is another attraction, with plenty of deck chairs for those who liked to listen to military-style music. In the distance you can just see the Wish-tower (see next picture).

Here is a view along the front, looking up towards the Wish-tower.  The wooden breakwaters were to stop the erosion by the water, which could wash all the beach away without them. Yes, even pebbly beaches can be eroded.  Note more deck-chairs lined along the front, for weary holiday-makers to rest and contemplate the sea, and no doubt benefit from the ozone, which was supposed to be healthy. Note also, the heaps of stones up against each breakwater, having been washed there by the sea.
