Leysdown-on-Sea is a coastal village on the east side of the Isle of Sheppey in the Borough of Swale in Kent, England. ==History== It was noted in the Domesday book as being called Legesdun and the name is thought to be derived from the Saxon words "Leswe"〔 (pasture) and "Dun"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kent Places - Place names - L )〕 (hill). A very small hamlet up to late Victorian times, it was developed a little after the arrival of the Sheppey Light Railway in 1903, though grand plans for the establishment of a large resort with hotels never materialised. The railway was closed in the 1950s. On 2 May 1909, John Moore-Brabazon became the first resident British citizen to make a recognised powered heavier-than-air flight in the UK flying from The Aero Club's ground at Leysdown in his Voisin biplane ''Bird of Passage''.
