A pullover is a place designated for driving over the sea wall, i.e. a road over the top. It is an offence to drive over except at a pullover, for fear of damaging the sea wall. Flood defenses have always been sacred in these low-lying, flat areas. In Roman times, when rabbits were farmed, there was a financial penalty for allowing your rabbits to dig into the sea wall. The A1031 runs across the back of the shot with the hamlet of Skidbrooke North End along it. In front of the road is the remains of a line of dunes, cut off from the sea by the reclaimed (agricultural) land in front of them. For another pullover see Image
