James Gray: The two small photographs [jgc_36_152 and 153] date from after the war and are of the falling slopes of the distant high ground. An Anti Aircraft battery was positioned at the vantage point. By the time of these views, 10 April 1947, guns, searchlights and other equipment had long gone but the Nissen hut, in which the troops lived, was still there. This view looks south to the sea and shows houses in Sunninghill Avenue and West Blatchington Windmill. Almost all the land seen in these four photographs is now covered with houses. jgc_36_152 and jgc_36_153.
2018: There is no distant view of the West Blatchington Windmill from the same location, while the backs of the houses in Sunninghill Avenue are no longer visible. This photograph was taken from the green on the east side of Amberley Drive which is overlooked by the houses in Amberley Close. The three pairs of semi-detached houses on the south side of Amberley Close now block the 1947 views. (Photographer: Alan Hobden)
