context_page_description: The Port of Newhaven is a port and associated docks complex located within Newhaven, East Sussex, England, situated at the mouth of the River Ouse.
  International ferries run to the French port of Dieppe, Seine-Maritime, a distance of 75.5 miles. Although there are some derelict signs of the one-time train ferry operations, the harbour still sees a great deal of freight and passengers movement.
  The port is also served by Newhaven Harbour railway station.
context_section_description: The village of Newhaven greatly expanded on the back of the works to a town, as they allowed a large increase in both trade and subsequently population. Imports included French farm products and manufactures, timber, granite and slates.
  The harbour was officially recognised as The Port of Newhaven in 1882.
