The original flag of the whole county of Sussex was six gold martlets on a plain blue ground. It was divided in the 12th. century and obtained separate county councils in 1988. However, it remained a single 'ceremonial county' until 1974, when it became two entirely separate entities. Henceforward East Sussex has the red flag, and West Sussex the blue.
However, I am going to treat it as still one county. Most of it will be of places in East Sussex, as that half shares a border with Kent
