The name of the waterway south of Pevensey Bridge which is known as Pevensey Haven to the north. This was an outlet to the sea until the mid 17th century when sluice gates were added near the beach which meant boats were no longer able to navigate the waterway. Today it is the main drain for the western side of Pevensey Levels. The bridge carries the East Coastway line over the waterway next to Wallsend level crossing which explains the presence of the CCTV camera.
