 St Leonards-on-Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although part of the Borough of Hastings, and an ancient parish in its own right, the area that became known as St Leonards-on-Sea was only laid out in the 19th Century in its present form by James Burton as a place of elegant houses designed for the well-off who wished to take the sea air.
One such is Gensing Gardens, in London Road; another is West St Leonards Gardens, with its handsome portico entrance; a third is Warrior Square Gardens on the sea front.
There were at one time three railway stations, of which two remain: St Leonards Warrior Square is served by both routes from Hastings to London; West St Leonards is on the route to Charing Cross; and St Leonards West Marina (now closed) served the coast route.
