IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Greenhill Way, PEACEHAVEN, BN10 7UL

Small cul de sac off Roderick Avenue North built in the 1980s when many of the vacant plots between Telscombe Road and Firle Road were developed and filled.

Interestingly the houses seemed to have arrived before the construction of the road as it does not appear on maps until the 1950s. The clump of bushes to the left mark the site of an old chalk pit the only thing to be found on a map prior to 1920. Viewed from the junction with Valley Road.

Next to Image with concrete bollards placed at either end to prevent alternative use. The trees and bushes to the left of the house in the distance marks the site of an old chalk pit, the only thing found on a map in this area prior to 1920.

Originally an old track that linked the villages of Telscombe and Piddinghoe across a high ridge of downland. Since the First World War it has effectively been the northern boundary of Peacehaven. Viewed from the junction with Pelham Rise.

Opposite view of Image as it crosses Valley Road. Development has yet to reach this part of Peacehaven north of Telscombe Road which still retains a feel of what the town was like in its early days of unmade roads and vacant plots.

This is the northern edge of Peacehaven whose original plots were larger than those to the south in order to encourage smallholders though like elsewhere in the new town take up was piecemeal leaving large gaps between those plots that were developed. Valley Road was one of the original roads laid out and still retains a feel of the original prewar Peacehaven. To some extent it may be to do with the topography as the road runs through a long combe with steep sides. This view looks up towards houses off Telscombe Road the current northern limit of recent development in the town.

A small public park at the northern end of Peacehaven. It seems it was originally planned as an open space surrounded by a road of that name, however, the road has long disappeared whilst the land for many years undeveloped and rough in nature has now been landscaped as a public open space.
