Crest Way
Built in the 1990s on the site of the former Foredown Hospital which had been opened in 1883 to treat infectious diseases. The hospital continued in use until the 1980s and was demolished in 1989 leaving only the former water tower, added in 1909, as a reminder.

Foredown Tower
Former water tower built in 1909 for a sanatorium which once lay to the right where the houses are. The hospital was demolished in 1989 but left the tower which reopened in 1991 as a countryside centre which also contained a camera obscura projecting images from the tower into a cupola below. The centre was closed by the council due to lack of funds in 2008 and various schemes to reopen it have so failed and thus currently remains closed to the public.

The water tower was built in 1909, but was already unused by the 1970's. It is now a bird watching centre and observatory. It was to suffer closure some years back, but now seems financially secure. A camera bscura was installed in 2011.

Foredown Road
Little more than a byway here, the road has its origins as an access route to the Downs from old village at Portslade. Today it continues beyond the A27 as a bridleway that heads north to Fulking Hill.
