Newhaven Cemetery was founded in 1885 by the “Local Board” and slopes uphill from Lewes Road. The pink column on the right is the Auxiliary Patrol Memorial, erected after the First World War by officers, petty officers and men of HM Auxiliary Patrol operating from Newhaven as a lasting tribute to their fallen comrades. One face of the memorial is sacred to the memory of the officers and men who were killed when HMT Borneo was blown up off Beachy Head during mine sweeping operations on 18th June 1917.
