This is Wallsend Road on the way from Pevensey Bay to Pevensey. To the left of the crossing here is Pevensey Bay station. The Brighton, Lewes & Hastings Railway existed from February 1844 but only operated trains for a few weeks during June and July 1846 before it was amalgamated with other companies to form the London Brighton & South Coast Railway on 27th July 1846. Pevensey Bay station was opened by the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway on 11th September 1905, and was originally named Pevensey Bay Halt. It was renamed Pevensey Bay on 5th May 1969. Most trains pass through and only five trains a day towards Hastings and three trains a day towards Eastbourne stop here.
