Title: Newhaven-Dieppe. 50th anniversary of the car ferry service
Post by: meechingman on May 29, 2014, 11:42:09 am
This weekend, Newhaven is marking the 50th anniversary of the start of the car ferry service to Dieppe.


Here's a link to my Our Newhaven page with lots of photos and the story of how things started: http://www.ournewhaven.org.uk/page_id__2714.aspx (http://www.ournewhaven.org.uk/page_id__2714.aspx)


Newhaven Museum is also staging an special exhibit to mark the event, well worth a visit!


The photo shows the original ferry Falaise at the East Quay in her post 1965 colours, plus the current vessel on  the route, Cote d'Albatre.
