Another meander through the streets of Secret Sussex and we find ourselves on the coast or do we? Dr. Geoffrey Mead is our guide to Newhaven and we begin in the now quiet High Street, quiet in part because of what's known locally as the noose!

An ancient name for the newest part of town, Ropetackle is now an area of wine bars and modern apartment living. A drastic makeover from the Shoreham of twenty years ago and as Dr. Geoffrey Mead explains, a great example of counter urbanisation!

Away from the High Street we find ourselves on the Riverside with local historian Dr. Geoffrey Mead. Boats and trains became home to a vibrant theatre set on the south coast in Bungalow Town, discover more about life just off the High Street.

The geography of Brighton made the building of the railway to London a little tricky and it was Shoreham that saved the day, as local historical geographer Geoffrey Mead explains.

A visit to Shoreham gets you about as close to Northern Europe as the bus can take you and this is reflected in the wonderful St Mary de Haura Church. A vast building, even with two thirds missing, we fill in the gaps.

If you stood on Shoreham High Street five hundred years ago the river would have been in a different place, local historian Geoffrey Mead explains what happened and why was Shoreham such a rotten borough?

We continue to uncover the secrets of Lewes and find ourselves in the beautiful gardens of Southover Grange, once dwarfed by a building bigger than Westminster Abbey. Then, it's a deep breath with local historian Geoffrey Mead, as we tackle Keere Street.

Eight miles from Brighton by bus and our tour of Lewes continues, it's another world where the past is clearly visible in the 21st Century. Local historian Geoffrey Mead has more on this independently minded town.

A great day out going round in circles, well actually one big circle, on board a luxury coach taking in the delights of London's orbital motorway. Wildlife, amazing scenery, wonderful architecture and more than a few facts and figures too.

Standing on Lewes Bridge we're on a divide that goes back over a thousand years, the separation of Lewes and the area known as The Cliffe. More tales of Secret Sussex now with local historian Geoffrey Mead.
