East Grinstead 1st railway station (site), West Sussex
Opened in 1855 as the terminus of a line from Three Bridges, on what became the London Brighton and South Coast Railway. The station was used by passengers only until 1866 when a second station was opened to the right of this image, on a line at a lower level (to fit under a bridge on London Road) when the line was extended to Tunbridge Wells. View west towards Rowfant and Three Bridges.

Former station house, East Grinstead
This was the location of the first station of 1855, at the terminus of the line from Three Bridges. East Grinstead has had a complicated railway history for a fairly small town. The passenger station moved to a new site on a new railway alignment in 1866 when the line was extended to Tunbridge Wells. In 1883 it moved again, with two levels, when the north-south route via Oxted to Lewes was progressively opened. Only the low level survives, with new buildings.

The Open Arms, East Grinstead
The micropub on Railway Approach was formerly an ink cartridge shop and before that did TV rentals. Like most micropubs it has slightly idiosyncratic opening hours and was closed in this Wednesday afternoon view.
