LEWES ROAD STATION

The Kemp Town railway was opened on 2nd August 1869, and soon afterwards an intermediate station serving the Lewes Road area was provided here. For many years it served a feeder station for Brighton Central. The introduction of trams and later, motor buses caused a decline in passenger traffic with the result that the line closed in December 1932, except for some goods traffic. The start of the Viaduct is visible at the end of the platform.
