KEMP TOWN RAILWAY STATION

Three photographs of the derelict station buildings in their last days. In fact, when these were taken in April and May 1968, the station was almost 100 years old, having been opened in August 1869. The station was last used regularly in 1932 as passenger traffic ceased on 31 December in that year. Note how closely the front façade resembles that of the original portion of Hove Station, opened as Cliftonville Station four years earlier in 1865. The façade of Portslade Station is also very similar, suggesting a standard design for L.B. & S.C. Stations along the South Coast.
