Kevin Gordon

4.9/5 (33594 ratings)

Description:Half-way between Eastbourne and Brighton, the quiet Sussex town of Seaford is often overlooked as a holiday destination but it has an abundant and fascinating history. Seaford's past looks down on the town, quite literally in the form of the Neolithic Hill Fort on the cliffs at Seaford Head. Over the centuries the town has been a bustling Cinque Port, a rotten borough, a quiet seaside backwater, a center for education, a garrison town and a target for enemy action. At one time, the people of Seaford were known as the 'cormorants' or 'shags' because of their enthusiasm for looting ships wrecked in the bay, and local legend has it that residents would, on occasion, cause ships to run aground by placing fake harbor lights on the cliffs. Local author and historian Kevin Gordon takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the town's past, unearthing tales of intrigue and grisly goings-on as he reveals the murkier side of Seaford's heritage. Along the way we are introduced to the great, the good and the bad, and the famous and infamous characters who have all played a part in its lore and legends. Secret Seaford delves beneath the surface of this former seaside resort, revealing a lesser-known and less savory past that even most local people don’t know.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
