Hailsham
Hailsham is a civil parish and the largest of the 5 towns that form the Wealden area of East Sussex. With a population of just more than 20000 and around 8500 homes, it is also the largest inland town in East Sussex. Hailsham is found 7 miles north of Eastourne, 19 miles south of Tunbridge Wells, 14 miles west of Hastings and 11 miles east of the town of Lewes. Being 6 miles from the coast and in between the densely wooded hills of the southern Forest Ridge and the countryside of the South Downs, the town is surrounded by appealing and unblemished scenery. Hailsham's traditional market was rope making, which involved producing and providing ropes for public hanging to Great Britain and the Colonies. Despite the drop-off of the industry, light industry continues in 2 large commercial estates located in the town. The Heritage Centre in Blackman's Yard, run by members of the Hailsham Historical and Natural History Society, allows visitors to access the town's past through using images and artefacts. Display screens showing kitchens, farming, agriculture, local industry and wartime memorabilia aim to offer a sense of the town's history over the past hundred years. Hailsham has a vast variety of regional and national shops, restaurants and numerous supermarkets. The majority of these can be found in the Quintins shopping centre, which was opened in the late 1980s. Another popular attraction for residents and visitors is the marketplace based in Vicarage Field, created in 2013 as one of Hailsham Town Team's key initiatives.
