THE DYKE RAILWAY

Old residents of Hove will recall that the Dyke railway, having left Dyke Road Junction Halt, passed under Old Shoreham Road on its winding way to the Dyke. After the closure of the line on 31 December 1938, the railway cutting was filled in and all visible traces of the bridge disappeared. In the mid-1970s Old Shoreham Road was being widened and during the excavations these steel girders were uncovered. These carried the roadway over the railway, which ran in a cutting just to the right of the much later large commercial building.
