OLD NEWHAVEN HARBOUR
Pen and Ink drawing of the harbour by G. Sims
By Tony Tavner-Corner
I lived in Newhaven and often visited the Sims family. Sally lives now in Brighton, George now lives in Rome, Italy. I now live in Brisbane, Queensland Australia. I have on my wall at home three drawings of old Newhaven by Mr Sims, which are very well done . He would always send Christmas cards of one of his drawings, which I still have as they are too good to throw away. Mr Sims was in the party that opened up the tomb of the boy King Tut, better known as Tutankhamen in 1922 at Luxor. His house was like walking into an adventure land, all over were things that he collected or carved or painted. Driftwood turned into wonderful objects of art. A lovely man and lovely family.
