In this quiet coastal village some major scientific advances were made over the years which have not been well publicized. During the eighteenth century Benjamin Jesty developed the Small Pox vaccine here - reputedly before Edward Jenner. While during the 1940's The T.R.E. Station at St. Alban's Head was instrumental in the development of centimetric radar. Many famous scientists were envolved including Sir Watson Watt and Sir Bernard Lovell.
