Then and Now - Sussex

Eastbourne, Splash Point

Old post card of Eastbourne, Spash Point.

Splash Point - sent 1903

Modern photo of Eastbourne, Splash Point.

The same view in 2002

The postcard was sent in 1903 to Dora Andrews. The sender has marked the card 'Sea View' - perhaps that is the name of the hotel in the foreground. This is now Queens hotel.

Detail of old postcard showing children looking into the sea.

Children
looking into
the sea

The sender has written on the front of the postcard because, in 1903, the back was for the name and address only.
