Our photos, dating from 1925 to the 1980s, show what Eastbourne was like at Christmas through the years.
There are pictures of local pantomime stars posing together at what was formerly known as the Arndale Centre, and huge crowds forming in the old Debenhams store in Terminus Road. Do you remember those days?
