Now containing an industrial estate but was once owned and operated by the Earl of Sheffield and also included ice houses built into the chalk for storage of ice which was imported into Newhaven and moved from the quayside to the quarry via a tramway. The recreation ground in the foreground is another legacy from the Earl of Sheffield and contains the town's cricket and football grounds.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Former hotel constructed in 1891 on the junction of Fort Road and Gibbon Road. Previously known as the Sheffield Arms and named after the local landowner, the hotel/pub only changed its name four years ago. There has been mention of a previous pub bearing the same name on or near the site from the 1860s serving a small shanty town that grew up whlst the nearby breakwater was being constructed. The area between the two road junctions on the left (Court Farm Road and Gibbon Road) was once a tramway connecting the nearby Meeching Quarry to the harbourside and operated between 1878 and 1939.
