With hints of spring finally starting to show, we can’t help but start counting down the weeks until summer.
For our retro piece this week, we’ve been looking at photos of the seafront from years gone by.
You’ll be able to spot Allchorn's pleasure boats, which sailed for more than 130 years, and residents soaking up the sun in the Redoubt Music Gardens.
If you have any old photos of Eastbourne or stories you’d like to share, please email them to: [email protected].
