DiscountHotel-Worldwide.com -- Destination Guides - Europe & Russia - Europe - England - Surrey, Kent and Sussex - Eastbourne Conforming to traditions, Eastbourne's pier is the focal point of its seafront: opened in 1872 and among the finest on the south coast. Eastbourne's elegant three-mile seafront consists of houses and hotels and is tainted by barely a shop, but the greatest draw around is the South Downs, which the sea has ground into a series of dramatic chalk cliffs around Beachy Head, just west of town. Nowadays Eastbourne has a solid reputation as a retirement town - albeit one that's a touch livelier than the nearby custom-built Peacehaven. dg.ian.com /index.jsp?cid=87586&action=viewLocation&locationId=40922   (54 words)

The fifth member of the team, by no means the least, was Denise Coffey, a versatile and naturally funny comic actress whom Barclay spotted in a play at the Edinburgh Festival. orangecow.org /pythonet/dnays.html   (141 words)
