English Seaside Resort Towns: Bexhill-on-Sea (East Sussex)

Bexhill
Figure 1.--Here we see a scene on the Bexhil-on-Sea beach of a large group listening to a presentation, probably during the late-1920s. They are just under the Promenade. The beach here looks very sandy. We believe it is presentation by Christian evangelists. Notice all the iconic 1920s style caps and hats.

Bexhill-on-Sea or more commonly Bexhill is one of many English Channel seaside towns located in the East Sussex. It is located east of Brighton the most famous Channel resort. A major factor is that Bexhill is a little off the main rail lines from London to the Channel coast. Bexhill is a fascinating archaeological site dating back to the early-medieval era. It is close to wear Duke William landed at Hastings and the cruicial battle of Hastings was fought. Bexhill was in the middle of the area where the Germans planned to invade during World War II, but they did not get around to bombing the town until after the climatic Battle of Britain Day (September 15, 1940). Attractions include a Manor House in the Old Town, much Victorian and Edwardian architecture, and a museum. The notable De La Warr Pavilion is now an important facility for modrn art. The town auditorium has attracted many pop artists. One source desribes 'bracing sea air', but that can describe all the Channel beaches. The Bexhill beach is a standard shingle beach that extends for 2 miles from Galley Hill in the west to the Polegrove in the east. It is offers a picturesque setting and stunning views of the Channel. We see the standard draw for sunbathers, swimmers, and the full range of water sports enthusiasts (kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, and windsurfing). Tourists can have a leisurely stroll along the promenade. More enrgetic visitors can take a dip. There are designated swimming areas and lifeguards deployed during the summer tourist season
