Above the chalk cliffs of the South Downs is the town of Peacehaven in the county of East Sussex. There is history in the area here but the town itself only came to be when Charles Neville conceived of it as land that would be "homes fit for heroes"; a place for those returning from the horrors of the Great War. Designed and laid out in a grid pattern, by 1924 there were just over 3000 people living in the new town that was originally called New Anzac-on-Sea. The name changed to Peacehaven after the disaster at Gallipoli. The white stone pillar to mark the western boundary is still evident today although the one to the east is gone. Another pillar here marks where the prime meridian passes through Peacehaven.
Peacehaven is a thriving town with plenty for the visitor to see, do and enjoy, with a shopping centre, pubs, clubs, cafes and restaurants and nearby visitor attractions. Part of the Brighton to Newhaven Cliffs Site of Special Scientific Interest is here and the cliffs are of huge interest to geologists and those seeking to find fossils. The cliffs contain many Santonian and Campanian fossils as well as flora and fauna that is of biological interest.
