Abstract:Sussex is in some ways unlike any other county in England. It is divided by the Downs into two widely differing lands, the green agricultural wooded Weald to the north, and that strip of coast on the south which probably gives rise during the summer months to a greater display of human activity than any other fifty miles of coast round England. Sussex may well be called the playground of London, whence it can be easily reached, for it possesses at least a dozen well-known seaside resorts which for four months in the year are crowded with holiday makers in search of healthful recreation. Crowborough, lying 800 feet above the sea, is a favourite place for invalids, and the new King's Sanatorium, near Midhurst in the west, will prove anew, it is hoped, the curative value of Sussex air. The farmers of the Weald also are rapidly becoming aware of the advantages resulting from the "paying guest."
