Cattle truck. Its presence is rather odd, as Newhaven did not seem to have had facilities for handling cattle, let alone loading them onto a ship. The small ship to the left, is probably one of the "screws", Brest, Nantes or Rennes, which were loaded by crane, and not suited to cattle.

WWII fire-fighting water tank.

This section of breakwater was destroyed during WWII, to make it unusable by invading forces. For many years after the war, it was spanned by the "bridge" shown here.

A tug, probably the "Tidworth", moored over the "South Hard", a platform with timbers for a ship to ground on at low water. The nearby dredger is working in "Sleeper's Hole", the river end of which needed to be kept deep enough for cross-channel ferries to turn round. The tug may be waiting to take the spoil barge out to sea for emptying.
