KEMP TOWN RAILWAY STATION

Two more photographs of the Station buildings in May 1968, taken from Coalbrook Road. Once the decision had been taken by Brighton Corporation to acquire the railway area for use as a commercial trading estate, the buildings were doomed. For the benefit of the public the line was reopened for one day, on Saturday 26 June 1971, and it was well supported at 25p for the return journey from Brighton Station. The Station building was removed during 1973, though the three single storey ones, to the left, still remain and are being reconstructed.
