The B2118 heading towards the junction with Arundel Road and Whitehawk Road. Originally built as a replacement for the old coast road to Rottingdean which was closed in 1895 due to continual cliff collapses caused by coastal erosion and remained so until the current Marine Drive was constructed in 1932 simultaneously with the new coastal defences known as the Undercliff Walk. The tall building in the distance is Thomas Kemp Tower, part of the Royal Sussex Hospital.
