EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting coastal town of Eastbourne, nestled in the heart of East Sussex. The image showcases a picturesque scene from February 1920, captured by Aerofilms Ltd, offering a unique aerial perspective that allows us to appreciate the beauty and charm of this seaside gem. At the forefront of the photograph stands an elegant bandstand, proudly displaying its intricate design against the backdrop of a serene seafront. Its presence evokes a sense of leisure and entertainment that was enjoyed by locals and visitors alike during this era. Adjacent to it sits a seated statue, honoring none other than the Seventh Duke of Devonshire himself. This regal figure adds an air of grandeur to the scene, reminding us of Eastbourne's rich history and connection with nobility. The vast expanse of beach stretches out before our eyes, inviting thoughts of carefree strolls along its sandy shores or perhaps lively picnics under sunny skies. It is easy to imagine families frolicking in these waters or building sandcastles on lazy summer afternoons. As we gaze upon this remarkable archival photograph from Historic England Archive, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how Eastbourne has captivated generations with its timeless beauty and undeniable allure as both a coastal haven and cultural hub.
