SITE OF THE DYKE RAILWAY

Here are two photographs of the line of the old railway track, this one looking north-west and the next one south-east. The scene is about 200 yards north of the Old Shoreham Road, adjoining part of Hove Cemetery, and the date of the photographs is 11 February 1973. At this point the track was on a steep gradient which had climbed up from the main Hove-Portslade line, after first passing under Old Shoreham Road in a cutting near where Harringtons Motor Works are today. During the 34 years since the line was closed in 1938 the once trim track has reverted to nature.
