Hurdis Road, SEAFORD, BN25 2SP

A view from both the hill and estate of the same name looking down onto the Ouse estuary. To the left the ruins of Tide Mills are visible as well as the Western Breakwater completed in 1889. In the centre is Castle Hill which looms over the mouth of the River Ouse, whilst to the right is the town of Newhaven.

Newhaven's Castle Hill and Western Breakwater are visible in the distance.

Seaford can be seen beyond the trig point with the cliffs of Seaford Head in the distance.

On the eastern slope of the hill which also gives its name to the largely 1970s estate built on it. A ferry is heading into Newhaven Harbour in the distance on the left.

Some tumuli are seen in the centre of the view with the new Bishopstone development seen on the far right.

Rookery Hill is rich with archeology dating from the neolithic onwards. These two barrows lie near the peak of the hill and would have commanded views over the valley containing the village of Bishopstone as well as the sea.

Laid out in the late 1930s as part of a planned estate that was halted due to the outbreak of the Second World War then stalled by tougher planning laws after. However, during the early 1970s the remainder of the state was completed. Where Marine Drive once came to a dead end it now finishes at a junction with St Margaret's Rise.

Part of the Rookery Hill estate and taken from the junction with Rookery Way. This road was constructed in the 1970s as an access to the parts of the estate.

A postwar housing estate built on a hill of the same name. Viewed from the footpath that runs along the edge of the beach between Newhaven and Seaford and looking across the low lying land that once carried the River Ouse to one of its former mouths in Seaford. The first embankment contains the Vanguard Way and Ouse Valley Walk footpath whilst the next carries the railway between Newhaven and Seaford. The southern side of Rookery Hill was once sea cliffs. Taken at dusk.
