London, Brighton & South Coast Railway

From Historical Hastings

One of the two railway companies that eventually serviced Hastings Railway Station, this one extending along the coast towards Brighton. At the dawn of the 20th Century, they had a booking office at East Parade.

Brett has the following reporting of this and the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway in general:-
