The Brighton, Lewes & Hastings Railway existed from February 1844 but only operated trains for a few weeks during June and July 1846 before it was amalgamated with other companies to form the London Brighton & South Coast Railway on 27th July 1846. Berwick station opened on 27th June 1846 and was extended in 1890. An English Heritage report called Berwick one of the most complete wayside country station ensembles. This is the level crossing on Station Road with the station to the left. The next station to the left is Glynde and to the right is Polegate. The Vanguard Way passes over the level crossing. The Vanguard Way is 66 miles long and runs from East Croydon to Newhaven. It connects the London suburbs to the south coast, via the North Downs, Ashdown Forest, South Downs National Park and the Cuckmere Valley.
