A view of the entrance off Railway Approach. Ferries to Dieppe have been running from Newhaven since the late 18th century though it was the development of the port after the railway arrived in 1847 that services really took hold. The current entrance and terminal is on Railway Quay, built on the site of an old bend of the River Ouse, though the embarkation point is further down on East Quay. Much of the current lorry park was built on the site of the old railway sidings and a couple of buildings still survive from that era, an old shed in the centre and the Marine Workshops to the right. The current terminal building lies further down between the two.
