Rooftop view across the village of Rottingdean in 1957, showing a tightly packed cluster of flint and brick cottages with steeply pitched tiled roofs and tall chimney stacks. The mix of materials and rooflines reflects Rottingdean’s long development as a historic downland village, shaped by local building traditions.
Rising in the distance is a traditional windmill on the South Downs, a familiar landmark in the landscape surrounding the village and a reminder of the area’s agricultural past. Much of the village centre and roofscape seen here survives today with little alteration, preserving the distinctive character that has long made Rottingdean a subject for artists, photographers and visitors.
