This picture was probably taken around 1972, shortly before the old bridge closed and the new one opened. I'm not sure how it came to be in my family's photo collection because we moved away from Newhaven in spring 1970, shortly before work on the ring road and new bridge started. I assume one of our former Newhaven neighbours sent it to show the changes taking place. I'm curious about where was it taken from. A crane perhaps. It gives a good snapshot of the river and harbour in the background.
