Fort Road, NEWHAVEN, BN9 9GD

Public house on the corner of Fort Road and Gibbon Road. Built in 1891 and for many years was the Sheffield Arms Hotel.

A prominent building on Fort Road, dating from 1891; apartments above.

Former hotel constructed in 1891 on the junction of Fort Road and Gibbon Road. Previously known as the Sheffield Arms and named after the local landowner, the hotel/pub only changed its name four years ago. There has been mention of a previous pub bearing the same name on or near the site from the 1860s serving a small shanty town that grew up whlst the nearby breakwater was being constructed. The area between the two road junctions on the left (Court Farm Road and Gibbon Road) was once a tramway connecting the nearby Meeching Quarry to the harbourside and operated between 1878 and 1939.

Part of the recent completed flats that lie at the southern end of West Quay. There are four blocks in total all named after ferries that once plied their trade between Newhaven and Dieppe. See also Image and Image

Looking around the edge of the small marina with the new development on Western Quay at the northern edge. The Western Quay used to be the location for the town's coal wharves.

Calm day at marina, fort in background.

So says the sign above the windows. I'm sure there are some available on the ferry if not perhaps a quiet spot over the side of ship. Just make sure you check the direction of the wind. The toilets are located at the north western corner of Image near the junction of Fort Road and Court Farm Road.

Situated a quarter of a mile in from the harbour entrance on the western bank of the River Ouse, Newhaven Marina offers good shelter at all times and is accessible in all weathers and all tides. The Marina has moorings for up to 300 craft from 7.5 metre to 15.5 metre http://www.newhavenmarina.co.uk/information.html

Named after the Gibbon family who were 18th century lords of the manor, their cousin was Edward Gibbon, the famous historian. The road first appeared in the early 20th century and was gradually extended further up the valley over the following decades. The houses on the left were built on the site of a former tramway built in 1878 by the Earl of Sheffield to link the West Quay with Meeching Quarry and was pulled during the Second World War.
