Ruins of the abandoned village of Tide Mills near Newhaven, looking east towards Seaford Head on the East Sussex coast. The site includes remains of the former tidal mill, cottages and later wartime activity.

Looking east across the remains of Tide Mills, a former industrial village between Newhaven and Seaford, East Sussex. Established in 1761 around a tidal flour mill, the settlement survived until the Second World War, when its remaining residents were evacuated and the area became part of Britain’s coastal military defences. Today, the ruined foundations stand beneath the dramatic chalk cliffs of Seaford Head.
