Pevensey Road, NEWHAVEN, BN9 9TU

Unmade road that was laid out as part of the Harbour Heights development. The take up of plots was minimal and resulted in scattered dwellings along the roads that were laid out. The development was stopped in 1939 and never started after tougher planning laws were introduced in 1947. Four Winds is the house behind the tree to the left whilst the roof of Greenways is to the right.

Built in the early part of the 00s over the unmade tracks of Pevensey Road, Pegler Avenue and Harbour View Road of which only the latter has survived within the development. Access to the estate is from Southdown Road.

Part of a new estate built to the west of Tideway school in the early 00s. It was largely built upon the course of Pevensey Road which had been laid out in the 1920s as part of the Harbour Heights development which only resulted in a few scattered houses being built before 1939, one of which, Bleak House on the right, is now part of the new development.

Broadcast TV and radio use this tower, which only serves the local area and so has a low power.

This is the outer playing field lovely in summer, dreadful in winter with the gales blowing in off the sea. The main school building is to the right.

Once sheep down this section is still used for agricultural purposes with the field running down to the cliff edge. The houses to the right are Westdean and Lyndale the only two hdwellings on Westdean Avenue.

A BBC digital television and radio relay mast for Heathfield to the north.

Now a restricted byway and part of national cycle route 2 but until the 1820s this was the main road from Newhaven to Brighton and was replaced by a turnpike with a lesser gradient that made it easier for coaches. Still used by vehicles to access the scattered houses on Harbour Heights and Peacehaven Heights.

This part lies between the inner and outer playing field belonging to Tideway school. Beyond is the new housing development built in the early 2000s.

The cliffs west of Newhaven were opened to development after the First World War with the plots sold individually for those wishing to build their own homes next to newly laid out roads. A mixture of cost, lack of connection to basic utilities and the depression of the late 1920s resulted in a scattered development which was halted by the onset of war and stopped completely by the advent of tougher planning laws in 1947. To the left are Westdean and Lyndale the only two dwellings on Westdean Avenue whilst to the right are four further dwellings based around Cuckmere Road and Charleston Avenue.
