IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Cuckmere Road, NEWHAVEN, BN9 9UA

The high ground between the town of Peacehaven and port of Newhaven contains gorse, scrubland, unmade roads, caravan parks and houses erected before the age of tough planning laws. This view was taken from the junction of Charleston Avenue and Pevensey Road. On the cliff top to the left is the coastguard lookout and radio mast, that to the right a small lighthouse. Beyond them is Seaford Bay, the far eastern end of Seaford and the clifftop of Seaford Head.

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.

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.

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.

The name given to the cliff top area within the parish of Newhaven. Much like neighbouring Peacehaven Heights the area was developed between the wars with roads laid out and a few plots purchased which, after the 1947 Planning Act, left the area with isolated houses and large open areas. The building to the left contains two houses; Lyndale and Westdean, whilst the white building to its right is Cliff Cottage. Newhaven heights caravan park lies in the lee of Castle Hill with Seaford and Seaford Head visible across Seaford Bay.

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.

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.

An unmade road that provides access to the houses and caravan park on Rushy Hill. Now a restricted byway the road was the original road to Newhaven which was replaced by the current route of the A259 when that road was turnpiked in the early 19th century to lessen the gradient for coaches. The junction with Blakeney Avenue is to the left whilst the TV transmitter is visible in the distance.

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.
