Something about Sussex
Sussex was the Anglo-Saxon name for the land of the South Saxons.
East-west communication has always been difficult, and, over the time, the county divided into two areas, one based on Lewes in the east and one on Chichester, in the west. In 1888 the two counties of East Sussex and West Sussex were established.
Famous for
West Sussex's airport at Shoreham, is Britain's oldest airport still in use, having opened to flights in 1910, and it still has its Art Deco terminal building, opened in 1936.
The Church of St Mary at Sompting is one of the oldest in Britain and its unique tower, Germanic in its looks, is one of the greatest surviving achievements of Anglo-Saxon architecture.
Bodiam Castle (East Sussex), built in 1385, is now one of the most picturesque castles in Britain, but it was a highly efficient defensive building, and early example of a castle built with gun ports.
From west to east the chalk cliffs called the Seven Sisters are named Haven Brow, Short Brow, Rough Brow, Brass Point, Flat Hill, Bailey's Hill and Went Hill.
