The Wish Tower or Tower 73 is an old but restored fortified tower situated on the seafront at Eastbourne.
It was built in 1804 as part of the coastal defences to defend England against the armies of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Today the Tower has been restored and is open to the public as a museum.
From the top of the Tower there are magnificent views along the seafront of Eastbourne.
