Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Bexhill-on-Sea, often simply called Bexhill, is a seaside resort located on the south coast of England in East Sussex. The town was transformed by the arrival of the railways in the mid-nineteenth century. Once a haunt of smugglers, Bexhill became popular, attracting many to live by the sea or visit the town. The 7th Earl De La Warr developed Bexhill as a fashionable resort, building new streets and grand houses and hotels, and later generations continued this work, most famously with the 1930s' De La Warr Pavilion. Today, the town retains a quiet and dignified appeal for its many visitors and residents. In spite of the many changes that have occurred in Bexhill-on-Sea, the town has retained its identity, with historical buildings alongside the new. This fascinating selection of old and new images of Bexhill-on-Sea will be essential reading for all those who know the area.
