Currently the C7 but until the 1970s it was the A275 until the by-pass at Lewes and the new ring road at Newhaven moved much of the port traffic up the eastern side of the Ouse valley thus avoiding the narrow streets of the former. The junction on the left leads into the village of Piddinghoe itself whilst the route straight ahead is possibly one of the earliest by-passes built for motor vehicle traffic having opened in 1923 to avoid the narrow meandering village street.
