Talk:Seven Sisters, East Sussex

I'd like a drawing based on http://www.sevensisters.org.uk/img/sisters.gif

White Cliffs of Dover

Can we get any kind of verification on why the Seven Sisters are used as pretend White Cliffs of Dover? The text here said "as they are no longer white", but I see no reference at White Cliffs of Dover to any historically recent change of colour. I've put back in what seems to me a more likely explanation (I think it used to be on the Eastbourne article) about the White Cliffs being overdeveloped, and hard to show without anachronism, but our photos don't really bear that one out, either, so I'm not 100% sure. -- IMSoP 10:46, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Picture of the day

The Seven Sisters, a series of chalk cliffs in East Sussex, by the English Channel, looking towards the River Cuckmere and Seaford Head in the background. Located between the towns of Seaford and Eastbourne, they form part of the South Downs. They are the remnants of dry valleys, which are gradually being eroded by the sea.Photo: David Iliff

I see there is a requirement for a citation for this. It is referenced on the Robertson War Memorial on the site as being bequeathed to the National Trust. https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1438452 I realise that is not, in itself, enough but may, with some research, unearth something acceptable. -- James Robertson 13 Sept 2019. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.147.81.77 (talk) 09:05, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

The Downs, North and South, are two seperate huge stratas of chalk that curve as hills from west to sourh-east across southern England. When I lived there I spent many happy hours walking on weekends out from

Lewes to Rottingdean or, longer, to Eastbourne.The North Downs reach the sea at Folkestone, the South Downs do so on the Sussex coast, where Beachy Head is the highest point. But thats not all, they then continue southward as huge geosynclines and surface again in France as the Champgne country. No wonder there are people growing grapes in vineyards on the chalk hills of Sussex now (presumsbly on south facing slopes to catch the sunshine!). 175.39.128.149 (talk) 23:27, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
