IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Mayfield Place, EASTBOURNE, BN22 8XJ

This looks as if a path at the far end of the track connects to the end of Mayfield Place, but a check on this was not carried out, as it would be tedious to retrace the route if there was no way through.

This entrance is to the oldld Bedfordwell Waterworks Pumping Station.

Seen from Bedfordwell Road as the site is security fenced and due to have houses built thereon, is Bedfordwell Pumping Station. Built in 1883, the engine house and attached boiler house, in yellow brick with red brick dressings under a slate roof, are in the Classical style. Disused after 1895 when the well was contaminated, the buildings became part of a council depot. Listed, grade II, with much history and detail at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1418787 Eastbourne is a town and seaside resort on the south coast of East Sussex, some 54 miles south of London and about 19 miles east of Brighton. Although there is evidence of settlement from the Stone Age onwards, Eastbourne remained an area of small rural settlements until the railway arrived in 1849. A resort, built "for gentlemen by gentlemen", was planned and the town's growth accelerated from a population of less than 4,000 in 1851 to nearly 35,000 by 1891. Tourism is a large and important part of the economy of the town.
