Seaford is a town in East Sussex, England, east of Newhaven and west of Eastbourne. In the Middle Ages, Seaford was one of the main ports serving Southern England, but the town's fortunes declined due to coastal sedimentation silting up its harbour and persistent raids by French pirates. The coastal confederation of Cinque Ports in the mediaeval period consisted of forty-two towns and villages; Seaford was included under the "Limb" of Hastings.Between 1350 and 1550, the French burned down the town several times. In the 16th century, the people of Seaford were known as the "cormorants" or "shags" because of their enthusiasm for looting ships wrecked in the bay. Local legend has it that Seaford residents would, on occasion, cause ships to run aground by placing fake harbour lights on the cli

  • 西福德(英語:Seaford)是英國東薩塞克斯郡的一個沿海鎮。位於紐黑文和布賴頓之東、伊斯特本以西。它是劉易斯區最大的鎮,2001年人口普查時有22826人。 在中世紀時,西福德是南英格蘭主要港口之一。但隨著港口淤塞及法國海島干擾而漸漸衰敗。16世紀時因為港口已經不適於船隻停泊,但當地人仍熱衷於經營港務而導致許多船隻擱淺,當地人因此被稱為“鸕鶿”(cormorant 或 shag)。 19世紀因為接通鐵路而重新開始發展,成為了海邊度假地。現是附近大城市例如伊斯特本、布萊頓和倫敦的市郊居民區。 (zh)
