Weather vane on the cliffs above Saltdean. It was erected in 1995 to replace a wooden one dating from 1934, which had been installed by retired Royal Navy Commander W S Davenport of Peacehaven for reporting weather information to the press and which had been destroyed in the 1987 storm. The present structure has a time capsule buried beneath it, in commemoration of the 50 years since the end of the Second World War.
