| Description: | Entrance to Shepherd's Chine, Brightstones Bay, (from foreshore). Looking SE. Mouth of Shepherd's Chine. Shepherd's Chine, dating from about the second decade of the XIX Century, when the brook that previously flowed into Cowleaze Chine was artificially diverted to the coast at the spot in view, is excavated in the upper beds of the Wealden Shales, and the lowest beds of the Atherfield Clay. This photograph shows only the Wealden Shales, capped by a few feet of gravelly loam (alluvium) in the tabular feature and dark pinnacle at the top of cliff.
