The Tally Ho public house, number 40 Church Street, was built in a distinctive vernacular revival manner in 1927, replacing an earlier public house on the same site. Constructed of red brick and stone, with tile, flint, metal and plaster decorative panels, all under tile roofs. Listed, grade II, with much history and detail at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1415582 Eastbourne is a town and seaside resort on the south coast of East Sussex, some 54 miles south of London and about 19 miles east of Brighton. Although there is evidence of settlement from the Stone Age onwards, Eastbourne remained an area of small rural settlements until the railway arrived in 1849. A resort, built "for gentlemen by gentlemen", was planned and the town's growth accelerated from a population of less than 4,000 in 1851 to nearly 35,000 by 1891. Tourism is a large and important part of the economy of the town.
