The New Savin Rock
For nearly 100 years, the Savin Rock section of West Haven, Connecticut was home to a seaside resort and later an amusement park which closed in 1966. Longtime 'Westies' are nostalgic and generally willing to reminisce about 'the old Savin Rock'. In these photos, I am trying to trace the demographic and geographic changes in the area and make a picture of 'the new Savin Rock'--which will in its turn become the old Savin Rock.
