ELECTRIC RAILWAY

October 1952. These two photographs are included merely for comparison. The line instead of being several feet above the beach as shown in earlier views, is now at beach level. During the 1939-1945 war, the beaches were mined and wired off. Owing to destruction of wooden groynes in Hove and places west, shingle was swept eastwards and piled up on some of the Brighton beaches. The effect here was to bring the beach up to the level of the railway line.
