Eastbourne is full of interesting things — if you stop to look.
Life in Eastbourne is an independent website exploring the town, its coastline, people, places, history and everyday happenings.
Sometimes it’s a photograph of something unusual on the seafront. Sometimes it’s a ship passing offshore, a bird in the park, an interesting building or a question that deserves a little investigation.
And sometimes it’s a story that starts with a simple question: What’s going on over there?
The idea is to follow those questions, look a little closer and share what we discover.
You’ll find original photography, observations, local research, historical information and occasional data analysis. Some articles will be short and informal; others will explore a subject in greater depth.
We aim to distinguish what we know from what we think might be happening, and to make it clear when images are illustrative rather than documentary.
This isn’t intended to be a comprehensive local news service. It’s a collection of observations, discoveries and stories about Eastbourne and the surrounding area.
