About Fencing in St Leonards-on-Sea
Saint Leonards on Sea in East Sussex was conceived as an entirely new seaside resort by the builder and entrepreneur James Burton, who bought a stretch of seafront land in the Gensing estate for £7,800 in February 1828 and laid out the town himself between 1827 and 1837. Burton designed the resort specifically to attract wealthy visitors, and it found instant popularity with royalty and aristocracy, particularly after the Duchess of Kent and the young Princess Victoria, the future Queen, stayed at Crown House through the winter of 1834 to 1835. Though eventually overshadowed by its larger neighbour Hastings, into which it was formally absorbed before the end of the 19th century, Saint Leonards retains much of Burton's original Regency architecture, later added to by his architect son Decimus Burton.
