East Sussex sometimes has the reputation for being a stick-in-the-mud county. It is certainly conservative (large and small C!), and the stereotype of resistance to change is summed up in the saying “Sussex people wunt be druv”. But actually, the county is far more open to the New than people think. The University of Sussex, situated at Falmer in East Sussex, is one of the country’s leaders in research and technical innovation, and its own Innovation Centre is dedicated to stimulating Start Ups and business development.
I think it is the desire for both tasteful innovation and quality craftsmanship which drives the blend of old and new in East Sussex. There is a lot of classical craftsmanship here – I have friends who are high end joiners and upholsterers, blacksmiths and farriers. There are centres of arts and crafts here – just think of New England House in Brighton, where my friend Karina runs Sashabay Soft Furnishings. So much creative and artisanal talent under one roof!
East Sussex is a county with a long history of innovation in sport: here are cricket players on the ground in Lewes in the early 19th century.Â
Competitive tennis also came early to Sussex. The Devonshire Park Lawn Tennis Club opened in Eastbourne in 1874; its Centre Court has a capacity of 8000.Â
Innovative East Sussex people are open to new things in the home too. Although we sell plenty of natural stone, granite worktops in the county, we see an ever increasing number of quartz installations. Man-made, engineered stone is composed of about 93% sand, glass, quartz and other minerals, and around 7% plastic resin. For more about the differences between granite and quartz worktops and their respective advantages, please see here.

Quartz worktops in East Sussex reflect the trends that we see elsewhere: lots of marble look materials, and increasing numbers of soft, earthy tones, sometimes combined with a pseudo-industrial look and feel.

Quartz worktops from our factory at Charlwood in Surrey can get to almost all parts of East Sussex in less than 90 minutes. Our vans are often seen at all points along the 23, the 27 and the 272, making their way to the small towns and villages that are so typical of the county. If you are considering a new kitchen, or upgrading the worktops on your existing one, please don’t hesitate to contact us for a quotation, or just call for advice and support on 01293 863992.
East Sussex is a great county: seaside and countryside, good food and drink, varied towns and villages, and the sun even shines a fair bit! Here are a few favourite places.
Newhaven. Hardly romantic, you may say – but this is where the ferry leaves for Dieppe! Actually, not a bad little place, and an East Sussex town where we often install quartz worktops.Â

Quartz worktops Sussex? How very dare you! Actually, the variety of architectural showpieces and old and new homes in the county mean that there are plenty of places where quartz worktops – of every style – fit in perfectly.
