Newhaven - from river & countryside to port & industry - 26.11.2011

For those who don't know the area - that's our local refuse incinerator. The Dieppe ferry is just visible at the far end of the harbour and there is a dredger about to leave its moorings to the ferry's left. The Sussex Ouse, on the left, is within a couple of feet of the top of the river bank and the land to the right is a couple of yards lower. How soon were those ice caps melting?
