107 years after the photographs on the preceding pages were taken, here is a view of the cleared site of those long engine sheds. The first locomotive was built at Brighton in 1852 and more than 1200 were subsequently built in these works. With the passing of the steam the buildings became redundant and were removed in the summer of 1969.
These photographs were taken from a vantage point in Howard Place on 22 March 1970. At the time of writing, nearly three years afterwards this site of nine acres is still little used except for car parking, but must surely be put to some more profitable use ere long.
