Photograph Notes: According to Rottingdean's 1839 tithe map this was once a field called Cliff Furlong located on Beacon Hill. During the 19th century it became home to Rottingdean Cricket Club where its sloping course once produced 67 runs off one ball - The original ball was hit down the hill towards Rottingdean which resulted in a chain of fielders throwing it back up until the last missed the stumps and wicket keeper resulting in the ball heading down the western slope, all whilst the batsmen ran the 67 individual runs. When the club moved to [[4777955]] after the First World War it became a miniature golf course which it remained until it closed in 2013 having become economically unviable. Since then the holes have been filled in and the grass left to grow and the locals making use of the open space as somewhere to walk their dogs. Plans for its future appear to be geared towards an eco-hub though one suggestion includes a segway course.
