Hi, I’m Matthew – welcome to Matthew Explores

This channel is all about the **historic buildings, landmarks, and hidden corners** I come across in my travels. Based in Eastbourne, I’ll mostly be exploring the South East of the UK, but you’ll also see videos from my adventures further afield whenever I’m on the move.

I keep things **short, relaxed, and packed with interesting stories** – the kind of history you can enjoy without feeling like a lecture. If something catches my eye, I’ll share it with you, whether it’s a centuries-old church, a quirky local site, or a place with a story worth telling.

So if you enjoy a mix of **history, travel, and curiosity-driven exploring**, hit subscribe and join me on the journey – there’s always something new to discover!

For generations, Horsebridge Mill transformed grain into flour beside the River Cuckmere. Powered by water, later modernised with steam, it became one of Sussex's important milling sites before eventually falling silent.

Join me as we explore the fascinating rise and fall of this forgotten industrial giant.

Did you know a giant whale once washed ashore in Sussex… attracting around 40,000 visitors and reportedly leading to the creation of a temporary railway halt?
