Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NAN-NEW
NEWHAVEN , a seaport in the Eastbourne parliamentary division of Sussex, England, 56 m. S. from London by the London,
Brighton
  &
South
 
Coast
  railway, on the English Channel at the mouth of the Ouse. Pop. of urban
district
  (Igor) 6772. The
church
  of St Michael has a Norman square embattled tower surmounted by a spire, and an apsidal chancel. The port is protected by fortifications. A harbour was first granted to Newhaven in 1713, and during the early part of the 18th century it possessed a large shipping
trade
 . This afterwards declined, but it is now one of the
principal
  points of communication between England and France, the railway company maintaininga daily service of fast steamers to Dieppe in connexion with the Chemin de fer de 1'Ouest. The tidal harbour, which is owned by a company, is enclosed by two piers and a breakwater, the area being about 30 acres, and the quayage 1400 yds. The roadstead is one of the finest on the
coast
  of England. With France there is a large
traffic
  in wines, spirits, silk, fruit, vegetables and general provisions. The
coasting
 
trade
  consists chiefly of imports of coal and provisions, the exports being principally timber for shipbuilding and flint for the Staffordshire potteries. Some shipbuilding is carried on.
