I AM PLAYING TAKE NO NOTICE OF THIS YET ....


RULE USED FOR SPACING: One space AFTER any size heading and two spaces BEFORE.

WARNING:

If you edit by section you need to ensure that the correct lines spacing is left. 
Probably best to edit the whole page ...
Line spacing will vary in the top section according to how much text is used.

Sussex is divided into two separate counties, East Sussex and West Sussex. East Sussex includes Brighton, Eastbourne, Bexhill, Rye, and the port of Newhaven. The western region of the county begins on the Hampshire border and includes Midhurst, Horsham and Crawley.


Sussex is the home of the Greenwich Royal Observatory. There are castles at Hastings, Lewes, Pevensey and Bodiam while the site of the Battle of Hastings is to be found at Senlac Hill near the town of Battle. The seat of the Duke of Norfolk is in Sussex at Arundel Castle. Rudyard Kipling lived in a Jacobean ironmaster's house, Bateman's, near Burwash in Sussex. The county has a song dedicated to it called "Sussex by the Sea" written in 1907 by William Ward-Hicks.
