Did you know that the Newhaven Transport Memorial currently sited in the Memorial Garden was originally placed elsewhere?
The Transport Memorial bears the names of 99 people who lost their lives whilst undertaking to deliver supplies to the frontlines during the First World War. It was unveiled in 1920 at the corner of Meeching and Dacre Roads but had to be moved to the Riverside in the 1970s because of the newly designed one-way system.
The memorial was moved a third and final time in the 1990s to its current location in the Memorial Gardens as the Quayside was also being redeveloped.
