Seaford – 7 Quirky Facts
- Running River
Seaford was once the point at which the River Ouse flowed into the sea. A large shingle bank made Seaford the perfect harbour, but as the course of the river changed the town was left without its most valuable asset, which had moved to what is now Newhaven. - What The Dickens?
In 1850 in an attempt to literally stem the tide, 11 tons of gunpowder was placed in Seaford Head to create a bay, stop the erosion and loss of the town’s important river. Without the river and quayside, Seaford would lose trade and prestige. 380,000 tons of chalk were blown up to make a barrier, an event which attracted huge crowds including Charles Dickens. Unfortunately the great expectations were not realised as the sea simply washed away the chalk and the river continued on its new course through Newhaven. - Marines & Members
In 1347 the port of Seaford was protected by 5 naval ships and 80 marines to prevent invasion from neighbours like France and Spain. In fact, the town was so important it had two members of parliament. - Doomed
Despite its value and importance, Seaford isn’t mentioned in the Doomsday Book. But neither were Liverpool, Bristol or London!?! - Bookish
Seaford is the setting for the Sunday Times best-seller This Is Your Life by John O’Farrell. Although the town isn’t mentioned by name, keen locals will spot the obvious landmarks and references. - Grey Cliffs of Dover
One of England’s most famous landmarks (it’s even a Windows screen saver), many people confuse the Seven Sisters with Dover. Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, Atonement, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Mr Holmes and many other movies have used Seaford’s pristine cliffs as a backdrop, rather than the Dover cliffs which are actually mostly grey. - Oh What A Night!
The creation of a harbour wall in Newhaven lead to nearly the complete erosion of Seaford’s beaches. To combat this, 1 million tons of materials were dredged from the English Channel and pumped onto Seaford’s beaches. The work was completed in October 1987 which coincided with the one of the worst storms in English history. The beaches were so battered that nearly all the newly deposited materials were washed away in a single night. Doh! - Dancing On The Ceiling
The storm of October ‘87 also brought further destruction and in some cases merriment. The morning after the storm the gym roof of the principle secondary school, Seaford Head, was found sitting in one of the school’s car parks. Before long it was joined by jubilant pupils, dancing on the roof in celebration of an unexpected day off school!

About Seaford
For a small town, Seaford has a large history. It has been a barracks for troops in several wars, home to a large number of private schools (Felicity Kendall went to school here!), and a widely changing coast line that once included a port that was represented by two members of parliament. While the river and shops have gone, Seaford retains a small town charm and close local community.
Leisure
Seaford has a leisure centre with gym sports hall, outdoor all-weather pitches, clubs and classes. The town has two golf courses and two small theatres putting on locally produced shows and movie nights. The town has a large number of annual events and festivals covering food, beer, music and more as well as traditional local events like the annual Donkey Derby, visiting fun fairs and more.
For those that love the great outdoors there are miles of beaches and coastland to explore right on the doorstep, as well as country parks, forests, rivers and downs for walking, photography or capture on canvas.
Transport
Seaford lies on the A259 that runs through four counties along a stunning route, over the rolling South Downs. Brighton (29 minutes by car) and Eastbourne (20 minutes) are larger hubs for shopping, cinemas and theatres. By train London is 1 hour and 32 minutes on a route that also stops at Gatwick Airport.
