The London Brighton and South Coast Railway opened a new station, named Preston, on 1 November 1869 to serve the growing parish of Preston, then north of the Brighton boundary. The station was enlarged and remodelled to its present design in 1879 during the construction of the spur line from the main line to Hove and the West Sussex coast line. The station was then renamed Preston Park - although the nearby Preston Park did not exist until 1883. For more info, see the Wiki entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preston_Park_railway_station .
