No83 Visitors Guide

Sightseeing

East Sussex is a bit of a well-kept secret. Situated on the South coast of England It hides a wealth of stunning un-spoilt scenery and countryside. (It's one of only nine counties in England without a motorway) From its leafy Wealden countryside to its seaside shingle, East Sussex harbours a range of stunning sites of historic interest. East Sussex’s county town of Lewes has itself an abundance of landmarks, including the remains of Lewes Priory and the town’s castle, as well as Charleston, the hub of the artists and writers of the Bloomsbury Set. Afternoons are well spent in the gardens of Brighton’s Royal Pavilion, or walking the South Downs towards Beachy Head. Bodiam Castle near Robertsbridge is one of the most picturesque castles in Britain, while the medieval port town of Rye is textured with an impressive history which encompasses Anglo-French raiding and a notorious smuggling operation.

Rye

Quaint little town just down the coast from No83. In the centre, cobbled lanes like Mermaid Street are lined with medieval, half-timbered houses. The redbrick Lamb House was once owned by writer Henry James. Nearby, the tower of the Norman St. Mary’s Church overlooks the town. On a clear day climb up on the roof for great views. The 14th-century Ypres Tower, which formed part of Rye’s defenses, is now Rye Castle Museum, with paintings and displays on local history. Ypres Inn (Wipers) is a great pub if you can find it. The Waterworks highly recommended bar in centre of town. Market on Thursdays (Not Great) Scallop Festival February.

West Hill Lift Funicular Railway

The West Hill Lift retains its original wooden Victorian coaches, and also runs through a tunnel, very unusual for a funicular. The lift's charming lower station is in traffic-free George Street which is full of continental-style cafés, art shops and bookshops. The West Hill itself offers some of the town's most remarkable views, stretching round to Beachy Head in the west and out across the Channel, the busiest sea lane on the world. Better still, you can enjoy these sights from inside the West Hill Café which is open throughout the Summer and offers a wide range of drinks and meals. Legacy of the Railway The United Kingdom's steepest funicular railway is not only a structure of national importance but also a source of immense local pride. It casts a welcoming shadow over Europe's largest beach launched fishing fleet and provides thousands of residents and visitors easy access to the Hastings Country Park and some of the most spectacular vantage points over the town. It's become an enduring symbol of the unique charm and character of Hastings, a symbol powerful and true enough to withstand two world wars and the fast-changing tides of a turbulent century.

East Hill Lift Lower Station

The United Kingdom's steepest funicular railway is not only a structure of national importance but also a source of immense local pride. The East Hill Lift provides access to Hastings Country Park which overlooks the Old Town and Rock-a-Nore. It was in the country park that Hastings resident John Logie Baird, the inventor of television, got the inspiration which led to his first TV experiments. The lift provides views over the Stade, home to the largest beach launched fishing fleet in Europe.

It's become an enduring symbol of the unique charm and character of Hastings, a symbol powerful and true enough to withstand two world wars and the fast-changing tides of a turbulent century. Planning of the Railway This was fraught with unexpected pitfalls and seemingly insurmountable problems. Although the town's council successfully bought the land, the original owner, the Reverend Sayer-Milward, had retained a covenant through which he could prevent any construction work. This setback was quickly compounded by the submission of a major petition from people at High Wickham protesting against any proposed development. The Council responded with a petition of its own in which 500 residents offered their support for the idea of a cliff railway. This created the impetus for a series of complex negotiations with Sayer-Milward which, after many arduous months, concluded with him granting approval in 1898. Construction of the Railway If the Council had found the planning process to be tough, it was nothing compared to the nightmare of the actual construction. Deep faults in the rocks made it extremely difficult to safely evacuate the shaft and construction workers faced all manner of hidden hazards and perils. In the Summer of 1902 the opening of the railway had to be delayed because one of the carriages (containing several Council officials) was derailed just fifteen yards from its apex. Despite all of this, on August 10 1902, the railway finally opened and the first chapter of a one hundred year story had been written.
