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.

The name of the estate built on the hill of the same name. Parts were begun in the late 1930s but the vast majority was not completed until the early 1970s. In the foreground is the former tidal inlet that once connected Bishopstone to the sea whilst between that and the houses a long flint wall is visible a relic from the time Bishopstone Road was little more than a drive to Bishopstone Place. Taken about half an hour after sunrise.

One of the original roads of the 1930s estate that runs north from the junction with Marine Drive. For many years only these two roads were built on until the 1970s when the rest of the Rookery Hill estate was completed.

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.

The public highway to Bishopstone and Norton passes the eastern end of Rookery Hill estate. The flint wall on the left is listed and was built to protect the drive to Bishopstone Place which was the original use of this road. Public access to Bishopstone during the medieval period went via Denton and Poverty Bottom before continuing eastwards via Silver Lane to East Blatchington then Seaford.

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.
