More about this scene
Hailsham was a small market town before the railway arrived, after which there was considerable expansion. Much of its wealth and subsequent Victorian building was a result of prosperity based on rope, sacking and string making. The 20th century has added modern shopping centres and a leisure complex. This view of Hailsham captures The String Town in its Victorian prosperity.
