Life's a beach: These stunning images show how Sussex folk enjoyed the seaside between 1895 and 1935

The weather is still a bit hit and miss right now, but full on summer is all but here.

Long days at the seaside and hotter days will soon be upon us, with locals out in big numbers soaking up the sun.

Our beaches have stayed the same for centuries, but, as these pictures show, life and fashions certainly haven’t stayed still.

And in our latest retro gallery we take a look at how people have enjoyed life at the seaside around our fine county down the decades.
