Eastbourne owes its development to the 7th Duke of Devonshire: after the railway arrived in
1849, he enthusiastically developed his estates here into a huge resort, with nearly three miles
of seafront
Beyond the Queens Hotel with its tiers of balconies, which opened in June 1880, are one or two of the surviving
buildings of the original Sea Houses, one of the four hamlets of pre-Victorian Eastbourne
This view from the Wish Tower looks east towards the Pier: the water's edge is crowded with bathing machines,
while the famous Grand Parade with Eastbourne's finest hotels runs along the left of the
pet is now replaced by Grand Court, a higher block of 1960s flats: typical sea-front flats that can be found in every
seaside resort, and distinctly not enhancing the elegant Victorian character of Eastbourne
