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. 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. 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.
