Railway books
During the 19th Century a great number of railways were built throughout Sussex to link the dispersed populations, and to transport the products of farming and quarrying. Many of these lines were close in the 1960's leaving no more than a line of rotting telegraph poles or a bridge crossing nothing in the middle of a field. We have selected a comprehensive collection of books covering the history, operation and restoration of many of these branch lines.
