An old course of the River Ouse dating from the 17th century when the shingle bank overran the attempt of cutting a new opening at Newhaven. After the cut was permanently reopened in the 18th century this creek, which was still connected to the river, was used by the founders of Tide Mills both to power their mill and to provide access for their finished product. The creek was closed to traffic in 1879 when the East Quay was improved though it remains tidal. The passenger ferry, Seven Sisters, is currently in port.
