EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling Newhaven Docks in February 1948. The image offers a mesmerizing view of ships, boats, cranes, and warehouses that once defined this vibrant maritime hub. With its rich historical significance, this photograph is part of the esteemed George Garland Collection housed at the West Sussex Record Office. As we delve into the details of this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era when Newhaven Docks played a pivotal role during World War II embarkations. This harbor served as a vital link for ferry services and witnessed countless journeys filled with anticipation and farewells. The presence of derricks and hoists further emphasizes the industrious nature of these docks, where goods were efficiently loaded and unloaded from vessels. The hammerhead crane stands tall amidst all other structures, symbolizing strength and resilience. It serves as a reminder of the tireless efforts made by workers who labored tirelessly to keep trade flowing through these waters. While it's important not to mention commercial use associated with this image due to copyright restrictions, it's impossible not to appreciate its historical value. Through this photograph, we gain insight into an era long gone but forever imprinted on our collective memory.
