About & Contact

Bexhill-OSM is part of a community of mappers that want to create a free, editable map of the world. You can learn about the global project at the official OpenStreetMap website.

This independent website looks to continuously archive Bexhill as it stands today; heralding history, community and business in an informative, accessible form.

Although Bexhill-OSM is not a business directory as such, nor a place for direct advertising, we do welcome listings on all public visitable places.

Web-development and the underlying map data are managed by Alexis Markwick. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I do creating it.
