depiction in relief of Newhaven Bridge. Inscribed to the
brewer Thomas Tipper, whose many good qualities, and those of
his ales, are recorded in a fine poem below. Tipper's brewery
stood beside the bridge depicted, adjoining the Bridge Hotel
(qv). The bridge, a drawbridge, was erected two years before
Tipper's death, in 1783, and linked Newhaven to Denton. it was
designed by John Plaw of London and was demolished in 1865-6.
