Church Lane, EASTBOURNE, BN21 1HU

Numbers 3 to 5 Church Lane were originally a row of three cottages, now one house. Possibly built in the 18th century of cobbles, partly rendered under a hipped tile roof. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1043670 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.

Motcombe Gardens, Ocklynge in Eastbourne’s Old Town. St Mary’s Parish church can been seen in the background. The statue of Neptune has unfortunately lost his trident and now looks as though he’s shaking his fist!

The road turns right where it turns into Church Lane, and connects back to Church Street where it is blocked off to vehicles.
