Vacant Plot, Valley Road

This is the northern edge of Peacehaven whose original plots were larger than those to the south in order to encourage smallholders though like elsewhere in the new town take up was piecemeal leaving large gaps between those plots that were developed. Valley Road was one of the original roads laid out and still retains a feel of the original prewar Peacehaven. To some extent it may be to do with the topography as the road runs through a long combe with steep sides. This view looks up towards houses off Telscombe Road the current northern limit of recent development in the town.
