The Birth of Eastbourne
Robert Armstrong’s THE BIRTH OF EASTBOURNE is a time machine transporting the listener back to the town’s creation as seen through the eyes of a travelling family just arrived to witness this event. Emerging out of the countryside, it is an area touched by Romans, Saxons and Medieval history. Then, in 1883, the town took on its important role as one of Britain’s leading seaside resorts.In the BIRTH OF EASTBOURNE, the listener relives the moment when the population of four hamlets swelled to 22,000, making Eastbourne a fully fledged town. But it is not just a political history, for Eastbourne is made of many facets – the great mansions in the Meads, more modest dwellings at the eastern end of the town, of fishermen, promenade artists and the people who were to serve the influx of visitors.THE BIRTH OF EASTBOURNE is a living account of these momentous years, from 1883 to the start of the 20th century; years that have put Eastbourne not only nationally, but internationally on the map.Running Time 120 minutes

The Sussex Martyrs
A True Story of Courage and Faith
Every year in Lewes, an effigy of the Pope is carried through the streets and burnt on a huge bonfire. It is a reminder of a dark period of English history when bloody Queen Mary was on the throne and over 300 protestants were sent to their death.
It is the true story of one of those martyrs, Richard Woodman, an iron master from the village of Warbleton who along with ten others, were executed on June 22nd 1557, by being burnt on the stake.
His exact words, recorded in Fox’s Book of Martyrs, have been carefully woven by the author, Robert Armstrong, into a moving story which makes this paper back book/audio book a memorable experience.
