Hill Rise
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 26 Aug 2012
Built on Hawth Hill in the 1930s to provide the spine along with Image and Image for a projected new town based around Bishopstone. A few houses and a new station had been constructed by the time the Second World War bought proceedings to a halt. Post war shortages and the tougher 1947 Town Planning Act ended plans for the new town with development limited to infilling on this road and the completion of a small self contained estate on Rookery Hill in the early 1970s. The town of Newhaven can be seen in the distance.
