English county divided into East and West (6)

I believe the answer is:

sussex

(Other definitions for sussex that I've seen before include "County (maybe speckled)" , "Saxon southern county" , "Coastal county" , "Southern county, divided into East and West" , "Seaside county" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
