Seaside Bench
Long term readers of this blog may find this image of a seaside bench in St Leonards-on-Sea familiar. That's because I have taken a photo of the same bench before.

Seascape
This seascape was photographed on the beach below the Mary Stanford Lifeboat house, on the same cold morning that I took photos for that very post. That was over two years ago. It had sat unseen on my hard drive…
Brighton Marina
Brighton Marina was built during the 1970’s and has berths for up 1,600Â boats. Much like Sovereign Harbour in Eastbourne it has a mix of boat facilities, housing, shopping and restaurants. It’s quite pleasant to stroll around, looking at how expensive…
Red Roofed Hut at Rye Harbour
The Red Roofed Hut at Rye Harbour. It’s been there as long as I can remember. It’s been photographed lots and is also the inspiration for plates, mugs and cup and saucer set. Why is it there? What is it’s…
The Flats along Bexhill Seafront
We have had weeks of miserable weather, so last weekend when the skies were blue I went for a walk along Bexhill seafront with my family. It was a truly beautiful day, barely any wind and some warmth in the…
January Storm, Hastings 2014
The bad weather that started before Christmas has continued into the new year. In Hastings there were warnings that the strong winds and a super high tide would threaten to push the sea over the flood defences. That didn’t happen…
Hastings Beach at Low Tide
These photographs of Hastings beach at low tide were taken in 2011. I haven’t been able to take many photos recently so I’ve started trawling through old photos to see if any are better on a second viewing. I should…
Into the Night
It’s sunset on Hastings Stade and fishing boat RX38 heads off into the night to begin its work. The crew of the boat is plying the same trade as those ancestors who worked the same waters before the Norman Invasion.…
Pett Level Flood Defenses
The picture of Pett Level above shows the height of the sea defences. The land is only just above sea level and it is these defences that keep the sea at bay and usable for livestock. Of course, it used…
The St Jude Storm in Hastings 2013
The St Jude Storm of 2013. A storm expected to be so powerful that it was named after the Patron Saint of Lost Causes. Not even the storm of 1987 was given a name until after it had passed, and…
Bexhill-on-Sea from Galley Hill
Technically this photo of Bexhill-on-Sea was taken from the roof of the building at the foot of Galley Hill, but that information was too long to use as a post title. Bexhill-on-Sea likely came into being when King Offa granted…
Rock-a-Nore Groyne
This day was cold and overcast like most days have been in 2013. On this day at least there was some contrast in the clouds. This groyne at Rock-a-Nore would have the other arm of the harbour, had it…
