Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Site of Crowhurst Viaduct Looking northward from Watermill Stream towards the trees on higher ground where the northern part of a former 17 span viaduct began which bridged the valley. The railway was a four and a half mile branch to Bexhill from Crowhurst that was opened by the South Eastern Railway in 1902 in attempt to take traffic away from rivals London, Brighton & South Coast Railway. The line failed to do this and was closed as part of the Beeching cuts in 1964. The viaduct survived until it was demolished in two parts during the early summer of 1969. This view may change as a proposal for a western by-pass for Bexhill and Hastings hopes to reuse this trackbed and bridge the valley once more. An initial plan was rejected in 2001 but were resubmitted in 2008. See the bottom of this page, http://www.hastingschoice.co.uk/HASTINGS-HISTORY/hastings-railways/railways-history.htm , for an image of the viaduct. |
