Bexhill Day was originally celebrated in the seaside town more than a century ago in 1917, and now the Town Council is keen to reinstate the tradition of the town’s celebration day.
Below is a link to some wonderful audio/video stories of Bexhill goneby:

The Marina Arcade, a structure with distinctive ornate domes and decorative arches, housed a photographic portrait studio between 1902 and the Second World War. The shop at No. 2 Marina Arcade was first used as a photographic studio in 1902 by George E. Swain, a picture frame maker who also described himself as an "Art Photographer". By 1905, the studio at No 2 Marina Arcade had passed to the photographer William J. Reed. Between 1930 and 1938, the photographic studio at 2 Marina Arcade was in the hands of the Hastings photographer Edgar David Cooke.](http://cms.hugofox.com//resources/images/782e865e-4b04-4dfc-9da9-0f1c0e3405f2.jpg "[ABOVE] A photograph of the seafront at Bexhill-on-Sea around 1910.
