No mention of the council estates - from the 1950s North Woodingdean and South Woodingdean estates gave it a very different atmosphere to places like Ovingdean. Maybe the houses are almost all private now but it was not the case in the 1960s and 70s.
I have edited this page to remove some historical inaccuracies (e.g. that it was named after the former farm at the Southern end of the village. No it wasn't! The former farms were Balsdean and Norton Farm - which both have roads named after them in the village. The village was named after the Anglo Saxon meaning wooded village).
There are still many Council Houses in Woodingdean - particularly in Bexhill Road.
