Telscombe Close, PEACEHAVEN, BN10 8AS

Small cul-de-sac off Telscombe Road built in the 1980s when much of northern Peacehaven was developed to fill in the large number of gaps left by previous piecemeal development.

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.

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.

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.

One of the roads laid out when Peacehaven was originally developed after the First World War. At that time other than what is now the main A259 all the roads in Peacehaven were unmade like this. This is the very northern end of the new town where the plots were larger to encourage smallholders and many gaps still exist between plots though the topography may prevent future development.

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.
