More about this scene
Like Eastbourne, there was an old town up the hill, and like Eastbourne, Bexhill as a seaside resort is Victorian, but even later in starting. The local landowner, Lord De La Warr, started developing the land between the old town and the sea only in 1885, and the long seafront terraces shade from ornate High Victorian to Dutch gabled brick styles. It never acquired a pier. Here is the clocktower, now jauntily painted, but the Moorish shelter, so characteristic of Victorian seaside architecture, has now been rebuilt.
