East Sussex

East Sussex is an administrative county in South East England. It is bordered by the counties of Kent, Surrey and West Sussex and, to the south, by the English Channel.

The country town of East Sussex is Lewes. The county of Sussex was formerly under a single administration. East Sussex became a separately administered county under the local government re-organisation of 1974. In 1997, Brighton & Hove became a self administered unitary authority and was eventually granted city status in 2000.
