Unique Images from the Archives of Historic England

Beschreibung

Sussex has been the home of everyone from dinosaurs and early humans, to holidaymakers and the health-conscious. It has been Iron Age, Saxon, Viking and Norman battleground, gateway to England for invaders and home to monarchs, aristocrats, writers, painters and photographers. Since the 1750s it has also been the leading destination of those seeking coastal contentment or rural retreat. Boasting a backbone of seventy miles of the South Downs, beautiful beaches, and thriving resorts has meant the county maintains a warm place in many British hearts, and so many aspects of Sussex life have been captured on film or canvas.In 'Historic England: Sussex', Brighton-born author Kevin Newman takes readers on a unique and illustrated journey through a personal selection of Sussex's past using photographs from the Historic England Archive. Kevin brings his knowledge as author of numerous publications on Sussex, and as a Sussex tour guide, to the Historic England and Britain From Above archives to explain and bring alive photographs and illustrations ranging from the 1850s to the present day. Chapters focus on: Landmarks and scenery; Beautiful buildings; Public buildings; Entertainment and leisure; Education; People and their places; Work and industry.'Historic England: Sussex' presents the reader with a visual history of this most picturesque and popular of counties in this showcase of this unique resource of archive images.
