IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Katherine Way, SEAFORD, BN25 2UZ

The houses of East Blatchington can be seen on the far side of the field (and within this grid square). The cliffs in the distance are at Seaford Head.

One of three footpaths from this side of Seaford heading northwest to Bishopstone. The other roads crossed by the footpath are Princess Drive and Churchill Road. It spans a valley.

The sea can just be seen on the horizon as can the radio mast on Castle Hill, Newhaven.

The name of the field according to Bishopstone's 1844 tithe map that lies between the footpath and bridleway that link Bishopstone to East Blatchington though in effect it has been extended southwards to include Image It has also been split in two by the construction of Image in the late 1930s and would have been the site of a new coastal town had the war and tougher planning acts in its aftermath not intervened. This is the eastern side, see Image for the western portion.

Beacon Road is in the foreground. Houses in Princess Drive, Alexandra Close, Katherine Way, Clementine Avenue and Isabel Close are also in shot.

With Beacon Drive running up the hill on the left.

Laid out in the 1930s as the spine of a new coastal town that was to be based around Bishopstone. By the outbreak of the war this road, Image, a few houses on Image, and a new station had been completed. Work stopped and would never start again after post war shortages and the new tougher 1947 Town Planning Act bought proceedings to a halt. Rookery Hill was completed by the early 1970s and the area on Hawth Hill around the station detached from the rest by the construction of the Buckle By-Pass in 1963 was also completed during the same period. However, Grand Avenue whose planners envisaged houses and other roads branching off the highway has become a country lane and a local access route for those wishing to get to the northern end of East Blatchington, now a suburb of Seaford.
