Built in the 1960s as part of infilling undertaken by Lewes District Council to give some sort of form to the towns of Peacehaven and Telscombe. Both had been developed from the end of the First World War by selling individual plots often without basic utilities on unmade roads. Their piecemeal development was partially responsible for the 1947 Town Planning Act and it was only from 1958 onwards that both towns came under the district council's responsibility who in turn began focusing on developing the town as a whole starting with the metalling of the roads, the supply of basic utilities and filling in the large gaps between previously developed individual plots.
