Eastbourne. It has the finest approach in England if we come to it from the downs; it has the finest seaside front in any case, three miles long, and unique for its natural splendour and its blaze of summer glory. It has tree-lined avenues and spacious streets, and there is no seaside place in England better laid out than the beautiful town set between Beachy Head and Pevensey Marshes. We do not wonder that Eastbourne has so many schools that education is described as its chief industry. — Arthur Mee, pp. 126-27
