Newhaven has a long history. It was one of the places visited by Hill & Adamson in the 1840s. There is now a short by-pass around taking the road between Newhaven Harbour and Newhaven village. But the old streets of Newhaven, including Newhaven High Street (above) still exist. The picture above looks to the west along Newhaven High Street towards the church. On a foggy day, the scene can be reminiscent of 50 years ago, or 150 years ago: |

My Dad, Charlie Smibert, used to run the King's Arms. His mother, Margaret Smibert, die: d when my Dad was young and was not old enough to run the Pub . His sister (May) took over until Dad was old enough. He ran it until about mid 1955. At that point my Mother and he bought a hotel in the borders, The Spread Eagle Hotel in Jedburgh."
