Hi Richard, my friend Sian from Ferring, mentioned the Cuckmere Haven recently and I happened to stumble across this video. We have been to the pub nearby, The Golden Galleon, as the guy who used to manage it we followed around Sussex. Brilliant guy has now returned to South Africa

The walk from Seaford, along the cliffs to these cottage is one of my favourites, especially id the weather is fine.

[@RichardVobes]

All good fun!

Great Video

That was very interesting! It reminds me of the coastguard cottages that were on the cliffs to the east of Hastings! There was a woman who lived in one,with her child and mother right on the edge of the cliff! She didn’t need a dustbin as she could tip her rubbish straight out the window into the sea and climb down to the beach,to collect fire wood! There is footage of it that can be found on U tube,if you care to search around!! They were demolished back in the 1960s!!

Heavens - dumping the rubbish the sea! Outrageous!

Before I get shot down in flames, I said Tertiary for the 'brown' deposits on the top of the cliffs. I have checked and this is what the Geological Survey says 'Storm Beach Deposits - Gravel. Superficial Deposits formed up to 3 million years ago in the Quaternary Period. Local environment previously dominated by shorelines.' - only a few million years out!

[@RichardVobes]

It was Kipling that wrote the poem.

Warren Ellis lived in the weatherboard one at some point. The interior was in '20,000 Days on Earth', Nick Cave comes for lunch and Warren cooks. The next time I saw it was in tv series Luther.! looking kind of bleak... And today I saw it again in 'Anatomy Of a Scandal' (exterior only) here is the Warren Ellis clip kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZmvYpqkgN1lrZY

SEA CHANGE (verse 1 of 3) Chalk cliff recedes with passing time By tide and gale undermined Against the onslaught no defence Nature's raw power too intense Sheer white beauty much maligned... JB
