'''Historical'''

[[Newhaven Fort]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newhavenfort.org.uk|title=Home - Newhaven Fort|website=Newhaven Fort|access-date=7 January 2006|archive-date=26 December 2005|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051226215408/http://www.newhavenfort.org.uk/|url-status=live}}</ref> one of the [[Palmerston Forts]], was built on Castle Hill on the recommendation of the 1859 [[Royal Commission]] to defend the growing harbour. It was the largest defence work ever built in [[Sussex]] and is now open as a museum.

The adjacent village of Tide Mills was the site of an experimental [[seaplane]] base at the head of the beach. The first formation of [[No. 242 Squadron RAF]] was on 15 August 1918 from numbers 408, 409 and 514 Flights at the seaplane station at Newhaven, Sussex. Operating from there and the nearby airfield at [[Telscombe|Telscombe Cliffs]], it was equipped with [[Short Type 184]] seaplanes and carried out anti-submarine patrols over the [[English Channel]] until the end of the First World War. Surveys carried out in 2006 have exposed part of the slipway, concrete aprons to both hangars with door tracks and several other slabs presumed to be workshops. [[Sussex Archaeological Society]] started a dig in April 2006 to catalogue the entire East Beach site.
