SWING BRIDGES OLD AND NEW
Photos of old and new bridges
By Andy Gilbert
Here are three pictures of Newhaven's two swing bridges. I think the date must be 1974 or 1975. I've swapped the old Instamatic for a new camera, and some of the other pix in this album are definitely 1975. The new bridge is complete and ready for use, but traffic is still using the old bridge at this point. Anyone remember the exact date of the opening of the new bridge?
