In Pictures: Good progress continues around Ocean Terminal

2.oceanterminal-rc

This image is taken from the Ocean Terminal car park and is again looking towards Newhaven terminus (which will be to the left of the modern tall apartment building which fronts onto Lindsay Road. There will be a secure overnight stabling area for a tram overnight just beyond the platforms (thus avoiding unnecessary mileage to and from the depot). Lindsay Road saw trams until 1956 before abandonment and the activity here is actually on reclaimed land with until the Second World War the shoreline coming right up to Lindsay Road. There are two graffiti covered concrete retaining walls in the middle of this image (either side of the JCB); these were built during first the abortive scheme to bring the tramway to Newhaven and should (unless plans change) be supporting the ramp up to the level of Lindsay Road.
