The Tower and it's car park

The Colliers Wood Tower was voted one of the twelve most-hated buildings in the UK in a Channel 4 poll in 2005 and the ugliest building in London in a 2006 BBC poll. Its blackened concrete and boarded-up windows made it a target of near-universal local dislike. it was first built in 1966 as the headquarters of property firm Ronald Lyon Holdings. After years of dereliction, it was renovated between 2014 and 2017, reclad in glass and renamed Britannia Point, with 150 rental flats and ground-floor commercial units. Nothing pictured here is visible today.

August Bank Holiday, Cuckmere Haven

Cuckmere Haven (also known as the Cuckmere estuary) is an area of flood plains in Sussex, England, where the river Cuckmere meets the English Channel between Eastbourne and Seaford. The river is an example of a meandering river and contains several oxbow lakes. It is a popular tourist destination with an estimated 350,000 visitors per year, where they can engage in long walks, or water activities on the river. The beach at Cuckmere Haven is next to the famous chalk cliffs, the Seven Sisters.

Coastguard cottages

The coastguard cottages at Cuckmere Haven were built shortly after the National Coastguard Service was founded in 1822. Prior to this Cuckmere Haven was an important place for smuggling. The cliff face in front of the cottages has since retreated by more than 30 metres due to coastal erosion. This combined with the loss of shingle from the beach below the cottages due to wave action in storms has put the cottages in danger. A fundraising campaign has been created to protect these iconic buildings.
