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.

Located on Memorial Roundabout though on the western edge and not in the centre. This view looks up Cornfield Road towards the main shopping area in Terminus Road. There are no names on the statue they have inscribed on the wall within the Town Hall instead.

Eastbourne Corporation bus 73, Cornfield Road ? 1972
Eastbourne Corporation claims to have been the first municipality world-wide to operate motor buses, commencing in 1903. The town never had a local system of electric trams.
The bus is a Leyland PD2A with East Lancs body, built 1966, to a distinctive local specification with large top deck windows and drop-down sections for added ventilation.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
