NEWHAVEN, (Sussex) 45 cm. 56 mm. from London, at the mouth of the Ouse, near Seaford, is a small, but populous T. with a
convenient, though little harbour; from whence coals, deals, &c. are carried to Lewes, which is 8 m. up the r. and here
they load corn, timber, tann, &c. Some small vessels are also built here; but the port would not admit of vessels of above
50 or 60 tons, being choaked up with sand and beach, to remedy which, an act passed in 1731, as well as for repairing its
timber piers.
