Mount Pleasant

Stationmasters Cottage, Tide Mills Tide Mills is a derelict village in East Sussex. It lies between Newhaven and Seaford. The village consisted of a large tide mill and numerous workers&#039; cottages, housing about 100 workers. The tide mill at Bishopstone was erected in 1761 by the Duke of Newcastle

The Sussex Archaeological Society started a long-term project in April 2006 to record the entire East Beach site: Mills, Railway Station, Nurses Home, Hospital, RNAS Station and the later holiday homes and the Marconi Radio station (1904).

The mill stopped in around 1900, the village was condemned as unfit for habitation in 1936 with the last residents forcibly removed in 1939. The area was in part cleared to give fields of fire and also used for street fighting training.
