Part of the Meridian Industrial Estate built in the early 1980s next to the recently completed Meridian shopping centre.

Part of the meridian Industrial Estate built in the early 1980s. The road was originally a dead end but has now been extended to include access to the new sewage works on the outskirts of Peacehaven.

The fields are the site of an old small farm called Lower Hoddern which existed before the development of Peacehaven and survived into the 1950s before moving to its current site less than a mile to the north. The school was opened in 2001 after years of campaigns for a local secondary school, the local council striking a deal with a property to company to build it in return for land to build houses.

Well it was but there does seem to be a confusion of whether it still is. The road is one of the original highways laid out in 1920 with this section initially used as an access track to Lower Hoddern, a small farm predating the development of the town. Since the 1990s the section in the distance beyond the bollards has become Rayford Close whilst the part to the north is now only accessed via Image Beyond the works to the left is Iroko House which still gives its address as Bolney Avenue.

The school opened in 2001 to serve the expanding town after decades of demands for local residences ending many years of local children travelling into nearby Newhaven for the education. This is the entrance located immediately to the east of the Meridian Centre.

Located to the south of the shopping centre opened in 1979.

Peacehaven was built as a planned suburb on a grid system, but has no roads off Arundel Road here which lead anywhere, they all end on the hills on the South Downs.

Still in the process of construction and part of a huge series of drainage works designed for the treatment of Brighton's waste water. The development has been nine years in the planning and involved a number of legal battles against the local residents who were against the scheme and dubbed it 'Poohaven'. The works have been built and have been covered with a grass turf roof that is curved to enable it to fit into the local landscape.
