Dinosaur footprints in the Wealden at Fairlight, East Sussex, by A. S. Parkes, published 1993 in The Proceedings of the Geologists' Association London (no. 104 issue 1, article, pp.15-21)   View Online
Abstract:
Dinosaur footprints were found in coastal exposures of the Lower Cretaceous (Valanginian) Ashdown Beds at Fairlight, near Hastings, East Sussex during 1991-92. A total of 23 footprints were recorded of which 19 were attributed to iguanodonts and four to theropods. Four short (one- and two-'step') trackways were included, representing both dinosaur groups. Assessments of dinosaur speed and type of gait have been determined from the trackway data.

House styles: Split House. [Fairlight], by Owen Pritchard, published August 2015 in Architects' journal (vol. 242, no. 5/6, article, pp.30-33)
Abstract:
Looks at the up and coming practice of Alma-nac (run by Chris Bryant, Caspar Rodgers and Tristan Wigfall), whose first new-build project in East Sussex combines elegance with confidence. A kink in the plan allows for the separation of the house's private and more public functions, while each internal space is oriented towards a particular view from the hilltop site.
