The public house is a rebuild from an earlier one and judging by the art decoish exterior and chimneys may well originate from the 1930s. The house to the left is Seahouse and was part of the original buildings and is the only part remaining. Up to the mid 1960s the view would also have included a single track railway which ran from Newhaven station over the swing bridge then down the West Quay to the breakwater and beyond in order to collect shingle for use as ballast. See http://www.francisfrith.com/search/england/east+sussex/newhaven/photos/newhaven_N20077.htm for a similar view from 1965.
