Introduction

It was in 1841 that the London & Brighton Railway constructed the line from Norwood (linking with the London & Croydon Railway) to the coast. The lines built between 1841 and 1868 formed a comprehensive countywide network, extending from Three Bridges to Midhurst and Chichester in the west and (via the South Eastern Railway) from Tunbridge Wells to Bexhill, thence to Rye, in the east.

Coastal Stations and Their Stories

The county’s coastal stations yield their own interesting story. Apart from the stations on main routes, those on branch lines and wayside halts are also included.

About the Book

In this book, Douglas d’Enno explores the absorbing and sometimes colourful story of one county’s railway stations. The older photographs feature early postcards and carefully selected images from railway archives and publications. When juxtaposed with their present-day equivalents, the extent of the change in these facilities for rail passengers can be fully appreciated.
