The old road to Rottingdean continued to follow the line of Marine Parade and the Terraces and ran close to the cliff edge, passing in front of the buildings shown in these photographs. Constant erosion of the sea led to great falls of chalk from the cliffs which so imperilled the road that it was closed in 1897. The new road (the present Roedean Road) was then formed much further inland to link up with the old road further east.
The Corporation bought these houses and adjacent land, in 1928 with a view to their early demolition.
