East Sussex, Brighton & Hove:
Stone Age to Cold War
Kevin Newman

Many writers have written about the delights of the former kingdom of the South Saxons, its Downs, villages, countryside, people and their ways but Visitors’ Historic Britain is the first series of books to take readers on a tour of discovery of each of the county’s historic eras in turn.
Visitors’ Historic Britain – East Sussex follows its West Sussex predecessor and starts with the prehistoric era. We explore East Sussex from west to east, investigating both little known and well-visited sites that tell the story of our ancestors’ past. We encounter wild warriors, formidable founders of the county, indefatigable industrialists, excitable eccentrics whilst investigating the lives of Sussex and invaders and inhabitants.
Sussex is a country celebrated by writers, painters, royalty, artists and the millions who have enjoyed its changing coastline and verdant villages. Visitors’ Historic Britain – East
Sussex provides a unique series of journeys for those who are inquisitive about this quirky and history-changing part of the South-East.

HISTORIC ENGLAND : SUSSEX
UNIQUE IMAGES FROM THE ARCHIVES OF HISTORIC ENGLAND
Kevin Newman and contributions from Historic England

Sussex has been the home of everyone from dinosaurs and early humans, to holiday-
makers 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 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.

THE AUTHOR

UP THE DOWNS!
A runner’s celebration of the Sussex hills
Jack Arscott

When Jack Arscott first began to run the Sussex Downs he little thought it would turn into an obsession. Yet within months the chalk hills from Eastbourne in the east to the Hampshire border had provoked an ambition to test his stamina on the notoriously exhausting Moyleman marathon – a distance he had never attempted
before.
Our novice enthusiast charts a dozen of his favourite off-road routes, records the gruelling weather conditions.
Colourfully illustrated, and with hard-won tips on body management and running techniques, this burgeoning sport will appeal both to absolute beginners seeking
encouragement and to diehard veterans who will sympathise with every strained tendon.
