DROVE
In 1919 and 1984
The Drove, circa 1919. Harbour electrician Robby Robson (senior) heads along the road to work. To the right of his head is the reverse of the notice board which warned approachers in 1914-18 that there was a checkpoint ahead, and entry to Newhaven would only be allowed to those holding an entry permit. (Extract from Photo Album No.3 - Maritime Museum, Newhaven)
Look at the empty Mount Pleasant in the background compared to the photo taken in 1984!
Photos from private collection of Robby Robson donated to Newhaven Historical Society by his neice, Mrs Mary Morgan in 1989.
