Selmeston Court
The name of the block of flats in the foreground, Litlington Court are the ones beyond. These along with two others out of shot to the right were built in the 1990s on the site of an old tidal inlet that has been cut off to the south by an embankment carrying the Lewes-Seaford railway line and to the north by another embankment that was built in 1963 to carry the Buckle By-Pass. The houses on the higher ground to the left are in Friston Close.

Buckle By-Pass
The current route was built in 1963 to replace the older route that ran down Claremont Road and along Marine Parade. The latter route had to travel over a railway bridge with a weight restriction and then under another with a width restriction whilst negotiating the seasonal flooding along Marine Parade. The current route crosses a former tidal inlet via an embankment before descending Hawth Hill in a cutting. The houses on the left are in Kingsway.

The Old Brickfield
Occupying the site of a former tidal inlet that once stretched further north but has been chopped into three by the building of an embankment for the railway in the 1860s and another for the Buckle By-Pass in the 1960s. The former is the one in view at the end of the field. Brickmaking possibly dates back to the 18th century and it is believed some of the bricks for the nearby Martello Tower may have been made here. The works continued until the early 1920s when it closed. Since 1997 the area has become a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) run by Lewes council having saved the area from development.
