Seahouses* Square links Marine Parade with the A259, Seaside. The water fountain in the centre of the square, known as The Curling Drinking Fountain, was originally erected in 1865. It was moved to the corner with Langney Road in the 1950s because it was causing an obstruction to traffic. In 2000, it was restored and relocated to its present position. The fountain is a Grade II listed structure (http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-293634-drinking-fountain-eastbourne British Listed Buildings). (details from a nearby information board) *Seahouses was one of the four hamlets which became Eastbourne from 1850 onwards (http://www.eastbournelive.org.uk/6.html “old Eastbourne” Eastbourne Live)
