Polegate 2nd railway station (site), Sussex

Opened in 1881 by the London Brighton & South Coast Railway on the line from Lewes to Hastings, the station was a replacement for an earlier 1846 station, slightly further west. It was sited just beyond the end of the car park on the left, but closed in 1986 when a new (3rd) station was built on the site of the 1846 original. View east towards Hampden Park and Hastings. The 2nd station building still survived when this image was taken, hidden by the trees beyond the railings.
