In 1793, following a survey of coastal defences in the southeast, approval was given for the positioning of infantry and artillery to defend the bay between Beachy Head and Hastings from attack by the French. 14 Martello Towers were constructed along the western shore of Pevensey Bay, continuing as far as Tower 73, the "Wish Tower" at Eastbourne.

Fun Fact - Douglas Bader, who became a successful World War II fighter pilot despite having lost both legs in a flying accident, attended Temple Grove Preparatory School in Compton Place Road, Eastbourne. Other modern celebrities who studied in the town include Prunella Scales and Eddie Izzard.

The Eastbourne Emergency Services Display takes place with this magnificent tower as the backdrop using the sloping gardens and lawns as a display ground.
