Thanks a million for this doc. Love the shots of the little Brighton D3 tanks: just remember them on the Guildford Horsham run too; also the picture of the Brighton K class mogul. These Brighton engines were magnificent and it was a pity rage Southern didn’t appreciate them more. (End of Pro Brighton rant!).

My father William Henry Blows worked on the Railways here at Steyning during the early 1950's before we emigrated to Western Australia. I have some very early memories of the bridge and steam smoke as a young boy. I got back to the area in 2008 for my 60th birthday. Would love to have spent more time. Dad used to ride his bicycle from Upper Beeding to Steyning to work while my Grand Father Alfred Caddy worked at the Cement Works.

My Father Bill Mayes also worked at Steyning Station as porter/signalman. He finished working there before final closure. My Grandfather, JWA Mayes, also known as Bill, was transport manager at the cement works. His wife ran the shop in Dacre Gardens.

@@TheSharkey22 Ahh, the one interviewed on The Lost Railway DVD :-) Our family member had the bungalow that backed onto the rails down Castle Lane in Bramber, built in the 1930s. He was the local woodman/carpenter.

Days spent playing on the Woodpile on the Caravan Site, and told to get off your fall off. Should have listen to my parents and camps on the Riverbank , no trains running then. But the line was still there.

That caravan site contained my family 🙂 My great great grandmother and her family, the Matthews who come from the Matthews Family Funfair.

Yes, I'm afraid someone the naughty boys at North Lancing Primary School called it the Steyning Stinker too! I remember travelling to Steyning market with my mum to buy a box of yellow fluffy chips which chirped all the way back on the train.

I seem to remember about 30 years ago, playing down the line near the Swiss Cottage and the old station was still there. Does anyone else remember this?

The old station? Near Swiss Gardens? Where precisely do you mean?
@AW-wf4tx6 жыл бұрын
Myself and an old school friend from st.nics, who lived in the very old house almost next to the Amsterdam pub used to play down the old line between the toll bridge and where the line joined the coastal line. I seem to remember playing in an old building in the trees across the road from the Swiss Cottage Pub and I was wondering if it was an old railway halt for the Swiss Gardens heyday, or if it was something else. I honestly can't remember what it was but it seemed like a small station.

We cycled that line a few years back, sad that the railway was removed by another industrial vandel just like Wilkinson today!

Henry Page: Historically or recently? With regard to the Beeching cuts, it would appear Labour was finally responsible for the closing of this line and many of the other railway closures. The General election in October 1964 returned the Labour Government 1964-1970 under Prime Minister Harold Wilson after 13 years of Conservative government. During the election campaign Labour had promised to halt rail closures if elected, but they quickly backtracked, and later oversaw some of the most controversial closures.

I thought it was selected brilliantly, but there you go, it's all down to taste...tell you what...turn off the sound and view the film as it was originally recorded. Sorted.
