The last train on the Dyke railway ran on 31 December 1938 and these photographs of the permanent way some thirty years afterwards. They were taken in January 1969.
As can be seen they were in the vicinity of Buckley Close with houses on a private estate covering the fields to the south-west. If building is halted here, as is the present intention, then the scene may look the same in 50 years time, but having seen the tide of buildings sweep in one and a half miles from the Old Shoreham Road in the last 40 years I am not optimistic.
