AN UNEASY PEACE
The coastal town of Peacehaven, in East Sussex, was established during the early 20th century by a developer named Charles Neville. His original name for the town was Anzac-on-Sea, reflecting the ill-fated First World War campaign at Gallipoli with Australian and New Zealand troops. The original name was quietly dropped and the new town was developed on the cliff top. This panoramic photograph provides a vista covering a 180 degree view along the coast. These white cliffs (part of the same geological structure as the famous cliffs at Dover some 50 miles to the east) are distorted by the perspective provided by the panorama. The Meridian passes through the centre of the image and on into the English Channel (the world’s busiest waterway) towards France.
