With photographs, anecdotes and reminiscences, the author, Pat Berry has drawn on her many years' living and learning in Seaford to cover fifty years, during which a small seaside community has grown into a thriving town of some 24,000 people. The end of the Second World War found 'Front Line Seaford' with gaps in its families and in its streets, where enemy action had taken its toll, at home and on the battlefields. The sea, that great eternal foe, continued to demand vigilance, to prevent damage to shoreline defences with consequent flooding of the old town area. Gone forever were many of the boarding schools for which Seaford was famous. Seaford has become a modern commuter town but still proudly celebrating its ancient history - with some startling discoveries and notable events along the way.
Pat Berry lives in Seaford and is a notable and active member of the Seaford Historical Society.

There is proof of Seaford's History going back over two thousand years. Photographic evidence only dates back just over one hundred years ago recording the growth of the town to its population of 25,000 today. In order to show the changing face of Seaford, the authors have assembled a rare collection of photographs and postcards, many of which have never been published before.
A comparison of the then and now illustrations have been included to feature subjects from soldiers to shipwrecks, smugglers to superstores and sport to storm damage.
The author, Patricia Berry is a well known local historian who writes regularly about her beloved Seaford. Steve Benz is an avid postcard collector and has worked within the publishing trade for over twenty years.
