VOLK’S RAILWAY AND MADEIRA DRIVE

The railway track, raised up on piles, is seen descending the slope to take the car underneath the Chain Pier. In its then early days the line was aptly described as the “over the sea” railway. Note the depth of the exposed sea wall before groyning built up the beach. Photograph taken about 1890.
