Cliffe High Street, Lewes

Looking east towards the junction with Malling Street and South Street. Until the 1960s this was the main road out of Lewes. Cliffe has long been a suburb of Lewes and grew out of its position as a crossing point over the river Ouse. It's still a shopping street but the eastern end thankfully is full of smaller shops rather than the big chain stores. Unfortunately, the area is still susceptible to flooding the last causing widespread damage a few years ago. This whole street was under water.
