These three cottages, numbers 122, 124 and 126 Wish Hill, were probably built in the 18th century with later alterations. Constructed of flint with brick quoins and dressings to altered door and window openings, all under a hipped tile roof. Now used as offices. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1043659 Once isolated villages, Upper Willingdon and Lower Willingdon, are now part of the built-up area of Eastbourne. Set on a spur at the foot of the South Downs, the village lies astride the A22 road, about 1 mile south of Polegate. There is evidence of occupation since the pre-Saxon age.
