Meads history
In 1859, Henry Currey, the agent of the 7th Duke of Devonshire, drew up plans for large residences with gardens of commensurate proportions. By 1890, imposing houses in neat tree-lined roads stood on what had been grazing land and cornfields – Meads had become the smart end of town. The inhabitants of Meads were traditionally known as ‘Meadsites’, the term remaining in current use until at least the 1950s.
The street names of Meads
Many of the roads in Meads owe their names to towns and villages in Derbyshire around Chatsworth House, the seat of the 7th Duke of Devonshire, who developed the town in the 19th century. Baslow Road dates from 1907 and is named after a village just north of the Duke’s residence.
Meads during World War Two
First German aircraft to be brought down within what was then the County Borough of Eastbourne crashed in Meads in August 1940. First raid on Eastbourne by fighter-bombers took place in May 1942. First major influx of Canadian troops to the Eastbourne area in July 1941 with the arrival of three regiments of the 5th Canadian Infantry Brigade.
