This fascinating selection of photographs traces some of the many ways in which Saltdean & District has changed and developed over the last century.

Perched atop the picturesque chalk cliffs of Britain's South Coast, Saltdean is an East Sussex town with a rich and fascinating history. Until 1924, Saltdean and the surrounding area was open farmland, but the area quickly became a prosperous village. Over the years, this coastal village has seen smugglers and shipwrecks, as well as undergoing development as a thriving seaside resort. With a beautiful shingle beach and picturesque promenade, the area remains popular with visitors both from nearby Brighton and across the south of England. Using a mixture of old and new images, author Douglas D'Enno tells the story of Saltdean and its environs. Featuring local landmarks such as Saltdean Lido and the former Grand Ocean Hotel, Saltdean & District Through Time aims to reawaken memories in longstanding residents and pique the curiosity of newcomers to the area.
