Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 184.73.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

'''Peacehaven''' is a town and [[civil parishes in England|civil parish]] in the [[Lewes (district)|Lewes district]] of [[East Sussex]], England. It is located above the chalk cliffs of the [[South Downs]] approximately six miles (((convert|6|mi|abbr=out|disp=output only))) east of [[Brighton]] city centre, on the [[A259 road]]. Its site coincides with the point where the [[Prime Meridian|Greenwich meridian]] crosses the English south coast. Peacehaven is next to [[Telscombe Cliffs]], a later western extension to Peacehaven, which lies within a separate parish and has a separate town council.

==History==
A [[Bronze Age]] [[tumulus|barrow]] (burial mound) lies very close to the cliff top, which has been under investigation by local societies.<ref>[http://www.gos.gov.uk/gose/news/687560/ Peacehaven's Ancient Mound reveals hidden secrets of prehistoric past] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081007231948/http://www.gos.gov.uk/gose/news/687560/ |date=7 October 2008 )), Events Diary, [[Government Offices for the English Regions|Government Office for the South East]], 12 May 2008. Retrieved 16 October 2009</ref> The barrow represents evidence of the occupation of Peacehaven at least 3,500 years ago. A 2007 excavation of the new [[Bovis Homes Group|Bovis Homes]] site to the west of [[Peacehaven Community School]]'s playing fields unearthed a large range of evidence for a [[prehistory|prehistoric]] settlement throughout the Bronze and [[Iron Age]]s.

Peacehaven was established in 1916 by entrepreneur Charles Neville, who had purchased land in the parish of [[Piddinghoe]]; he then set up a company to develop the site (he also eventually built nearby towns [[Saltdean]] and parts of [[Rottingdean]]).<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.saltdean.info/begsaltdean.htm |title=Beginning of Saltdean Today |access-date=12 March 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130102171400/http://www.saltdean.info/begsaltdean.htm |archive-date=2 January 2013 ))</ref> He advertised it by setting up a competition in virtually every newspaper in England to name the development. The name of the winners who chose the name 'New Anzac-on-Sea' (to commemorate the [[Australian and New Zealand Army Corps|ANZAC]]'s involvement in the [[Gallipoli campaign|Battle of Gallipoli]])<ref>((cite book|first=Justin|last=Hopper|title=The Old Weird Albion|publisher=Penned in the Margins|location=London|page=46|date=2017|isbn=9781908058379))</ref> were Mr West of Ilford, Essex and Mr Kemp of Maidstone, Kent.

The ''[[Daily Express]]'' later sued Neville over the competition, holding that it was a scam, since he was offering "free" plots of land in the town as runner-up prizes but issuing them only on the payment of a [[conveyancing]] fee. The ''Express'' won the case, but the publicity brought the scheme to a large audience. The idea was then to sell plots of land cheaply for people to build on themselves.

Initially, the town was New Anzac-on-Sea, but less than a year later, on 12 February 1917, it was renamed Peacehaven.<ref>Bernard, S. (2018) ''A True History of Two Nearly new Peacehaven & Telscombe'', Derbyshire: Country Books</ref>

In 1927, the directors of Peacehaven Estates Ltd, of South Coast Road, Peacehaven, and 7, [[Pall Mall, London|Pall Mall]], [[Westminster]], were [[Henry Roper-Curzon, 18th Baron Teynham|Lord Teynham]] (Chairman), C. W. Neville (managing director), and [[G. Kay Green]].<ref>''The Directory of Directors for 1927'' (Thomas Skinner & Co, 1927), p. 625</ref>

Although it has been claimed that the town was originally formed for retiring [[World War I]] veterans in order for them to escape and recover from the effects of the war, this is not proven. Mr Neville's publicity promoted the town as being an idyllic setting; sea air and simple lifestyle were thought to have aided good health. The land was also cheap and, as a result, working-class families from the city started to purchase plots and gradually build makeshift homes for weekends and holidays. This movement of frontier-style buildings made with whatever materials were available at the time was termed as the Plotlands movement. Inhabitants felt a sense of freedom in living off what they needed and enjoying a simpler life away from the busy, polluted city. The Plotlands provided the working class an opportunity that might not have been available otherwise.<ref>Hardy, D., & Ward, C. (1984) ''Arcadia for All: The Legacy of Makeshift Landscape'', London: Mansell Publishing Ltd</ref>

By 1924, there were 3,000 people living in Peacehaven. Original houses were often very temporary affairs (some were old [[Coach (rail)|railway carriages]]). Others were constructed from former army huts, brought from North Camp near [[Seaford, East Sussex|Seaford]], a few of these still survive, having been given an outer concrete block wall (they can be identified by their oblong shape that tends to be end-on to the road). Eventually the local council invested in water and electrical services and so people started to build more substantial houses. After [[World War II]], the local council introduced a zoning scheme in order to distinguish areas for improvement along the coast road. In 1974 the ''Town Centre Map and Action Plan'' was formed to aid development.

There are two listed farmsteads in the town: Halcombe Farm House built in the 17th century, and Hoddern Farm House from the 18th century. Another old building is the Shepherds Cot, now part of a private residential property in The Compts in north Peacehaven.  This tiny cabin dates from the 1880s when it was built on farmland to shelter shepherds during the lambing season.

The popular singer and comedian [[Gracie Fields]] bought a home in Peacehaven overlooking the sea, then established the Gracie Fields Home and Orphanage in Dorothy Avenue. In fact the children were not orphans; their parents were entertainers who placed their children there while they were on tour. It was administered by the Theatrical Ladies Guild. Dorothy House is now a care home for elderly people.((cn|date=October 2022))

==Geography==
Peacehaven is located on fairly flat coastal land which is elevated around ((convert|40|to|50|m|0|abbr=on)) [[Above mean sea level|above sea level]]. The pebble beach below the cliffs can be reached by a stairs and concrete driveway and sea walk. There are a number of green spaces along the A259 and the cliffs, one of which is called ''The Dell''. A cinema formerly stood on this site, and now it holds events such as car boot sales, fireworks, fairgrounds, motorhome exhibitions, the Donkey Derby and an annual [[carnival]] (though in 2005 the carnival was held on the Joff field located behind the Meridian shopping centre). In the 1950s, the carnival stalls were located on the then vacant land on the NW corner of the South Coast Road (A259) and Dorothy Avenue.

Neville was influenced by the American grid system of planning. There were originally no "Streets" in Peacehaven; only "Roads" and "Avenues". With very few exceptions, "Roads" ran east to west, and "Avenues" north to south, most forming crossroads where they intersected the South Coast Road (A259). Apart from this road, Roderick Avenue, running roughly up the centre, was the only surfaced road (except for the area of Local Authority housing around Friars Avenue (north) in Peacehaven until the late 1950s, when the process of making-up the roads began. This started in Telscombe Cliffs and worked eastwards. As part of this, many of the Avenues had their junction with the main road blocked off to reduce the number of junctions and crossroads. The town still retains its original "grid" layout (apart from the newer development to the west called Telscombe Cliffs and above Firle Road): rectangular plots of land on both sides of the main road. Aerial photographs from the 30s<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/image/epw054055?search=Peacehaven&ref=7|title=Residential development, Peacehaven, from the south-east, 1937 – Britain from Above|access-date=26 May 2016|archive-date=16 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160916115426/http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/image/epw054055?search=Peacehaven&ref=7|url-status=live))</ref> clearly show the "grid" pattern and, at that time, the scattered nature of the community.

The parish includes part of the [[Brighton to Newhaven Cliffs]] [[Site of Special Scientific Interest]]. The cliffs are mainly of geological interest, containing many [[Santonian]] and [[Campanian]] fossils. The SSSI listing includes flora and fauna biological interest too.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.english-nature.org.uk/special/sssi/sssi_details.cfm?sssi_id=1003033 |title=Natural England – SSSI |access-date=19 June 2008 |publisher=English Nature |archive-date=25 May 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110525075434/http://www.english-nature.org.uk/special/sssi/sssi_details.cfm?sssi_id=1003033 |url-status=live ))</ref>

The point where the [[Prime meridian (Greenwich)|Prime meridian]] of the world crosses the coast is marked by a ((Convert|3.5|m|abbr=on)) tall [[obelisk]], commissioned by Charles Neville.

Peacehaven's lowest tier of government is the Peacehaven Town Council who are responsible for local planning, highways and other amenities. The council consists of 17 elected councillors from three [[Ward (division)|wards]], North, West and East Peacehaven.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.lewes.gov.uk/Files/Elections_Notice_TownPar07.pdf |archive-url=https://www.webarchive.org.uk/wayback/archive/20090727002122/http://www.lewes.gov.uk/Files/Elections_Notice_TownPar07.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=27 July 2009 |title=Notice of Election |access-date=19 June 2008 |last=Crawford |first=John |date=19 March 2007 |publisher=Lewes District Council ))</ref> The May 2007 election returned 17 [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] councillors.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.lewes.gov.uk/Files/Elections_Results_TownParish.pdf |title=Results – Town and Parish Council Elections |access-date=19 June 2008 |date=3 May 2007 |pages=5–6 |publisher=Lewes District Council |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090225212044/http://www.lewes.gov.uk/Files/Elections_Results_TownParish.pdf |archive-date=25 February 2009 ))</ref>

The next level of government is [[Lewes (district)|Lewes District Council]] with responsibilities for the wider ranging areas such as council tax collection, environmental health and democratic services. Peacehaven provides six councillors to the district council, representing the same three wards as the parish council. Elections are held every four years, the May 2007 election returned six Conservative Party councillors;<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.lewes.gov.uk/Files/Elections_Results_District.pdf |title=Results – District Council Elections |access-date=3 July 2008 |date=3 May 2007 |pages=10–11 |publisher=Lewes District Council |archive-date=14 June 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110614020016/http://www.lewes.gov.uk/Files/Elections_Results_District.pdf |url-status=live ))</ref> the May 2023 local elections returned six Labour Party councillors for these six seats.

The [[county council]] for East Sussex has responsibility for education, libraries, social services, civil registration, trading standards and transport. Elections for the county council are held every four years. Peacehaven parish is combined with the neighbouring Telscombe parish forming the Peacehaven & Telscombe Towns electoral division which elects two councillors to the council. The May 2013 election returned two [[UKIP]] councillors.
Peacehaven is in the [[Brighton Kemptown (UK Parliament constituency)|Brighton Kemptown]] constituency for the UK parliamentary elections. In June 2017 Lloyd Russell-Moyle was elected Labour MP for the constituency.

Prior to [[Brexit]] in 2020, Peacehaven was represented by the [[South East England (European Parliament constituency)|South East region]], in the [[European Parliament]].

==Peacehaven in film and fiction==
The town plays a part in [[Graham Greene]]'s 1938 novel ''[[Brighton Rock (novel)|Brighton Rock]].<ref>see Brighton Rock,1938, Part 7, chapter 9</ref>''

The 1979 film ''[[Quadrophenia (film)|Quadrophenia]]'' starring Phil Daniels in the leading role as a [[Mod (subculture)|mod]] named Jimmy also ended up in Peacehaven. At the end of the film he finds out his idol, the suave mod "poster boy" Ace Face (played by [[Sting (musician)|Sting]]), is in reality a [[Bellhop|bellboy]]. He steals Ace's [[Scooter (motorcycle)|scooter]] and heads out to Peacehaven Cliffs and an uncertain fate.

Peacehaven was selected for the site at which a car is pushed over the cliff in the TV thriller series ''The Level'', while earlier Tiffany Mitchell's ashes were portrayed to be cast over the cliffs, in the [[BBC]] soap ''[[EastEnders]]'' in 1999, with viewers having been told at her funeral that she had spent happy childhood holidays there.<ref>((cite news|title=Now for the Tiffany tour |url=http://archive.theargus.co.uk/1999/2/6/198859.html |work=The Argus  |date=6 February 1999 |access-date=18 June 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929103048/http://archive.theargus.co.uk/1999/2/6/198859.html |archive-date=29 September 2007 ))</ref>

[[Miodrag Kojadinović]] has a short story about a search for an ancestor in Peacehaven that plays with the concept of a "haven of peace", which won a prize for stories with Jewish themes and appeared in [[Serbian language|Serbian]]<ref>[http://polja.rs/polja485/index485.htm with ''Polja''] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150326025701/http://polja.rs/polja485/index485.htm |date=26 March 2015 ))</ref> and [[Hungarian language|Hungarian]],<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.hid.rs/archivum.php?page=1489 |title=in ''Híd'' |access-date=26 March 2015 |archive-date=22 March 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150322062907/http://www.hid.rs/archivum.php?page=1489 |url-status=live ))</ref> both out of [[Novi Sad]].

In April 2017, Peacehaven, under the name of "Meridian Cliffs", was the scene of a series of ten fifteen-minute Radio 4 short stories by Lynne Truss, with the overall title "Life at Absolute Zero".((cn|date=March 2022))

==Music==
[[Punk rock|Punk]] band [[Peter and the Test Tube Babies]] formed in Peacehaven in 1978 and recall calling themselves the banchood group for a short period of time.<ref>Glasper, Ian. ''Burning Britain''. PM Press 2014, p357</ref>
