The view as it enters the village of Piddinghoe. The houses in view are Kiln Cottage and The River House which are split by Image the only survivor of a former tile and brick works, later a whiting works, which operated from the site between 1817 and 1913. This section of Lewes Road was built around the same time as the works opened to replace the steeper and much windier route over higher ground. It later became the A275 until the late 1970s when the newly opened Lewes Bypass and Newhaven's ring roads pushed all port traffic up the eastern side of the Ouse valley to avoid the narrow streets of Lewes. The road is now designated the C7.
