Photograph Notes: Prior to the construction of the first Southease Bridge in 1791 any traffic wishing to cross the river between Lewes and Newhaven used Stocks Ferry. The old lane on the western side is still in place and runs from Newhaven Road to the river as a public footpath. This is the last section prior to reaching the river and Yeakell & Gardner's 1778-83 map has a building located here, possibly the ferry keepers cottage. When the Ouse was canalised in the last decade of the 18th century the resulting embankments and straightening of the adjacent section of the river would probably have swept away everything to do with the old ferry as nothing was marked on the 1843 tithe map and the lane was described as a droveway. All that does remain are the public footpaths on either side of the river with the name living on as Stock Cottages on the A26. See also [[2986262]], [[2986269]] and [[2986281]].
