Built as the Railway Inn probably in the 1860s when the Shoreham-Christ's Hospital railway was opened. It ceased being a pub in the 1930s possibly due to being in competition with the Railway Hotel which was located on the opposite side of the road and thus slightly nearer the station, see Image It has since been converted into flats with the section facing the road called The Firs and a two storey dwelling to the rear named Rose cottage which still retains some old pub advertising on its external walls.
