1897 Map showing the coal sidings on the Kemptown branchline
The map can be dragged to reveal adjoining mapping in different directions.
- Notice that the Kemptown branchline leaves the Brighon to Lewes line at the points just after the Ditchling Road tunnel.
Watch the local freight train cross the points onto the Kemptown branchline on Video.
The signalbox - see picture - was at the far NE corner of the Carelet site.
First stop on the Kemptown branchline was LEWES ROAD STATION at the back of where Richmond House stands now. Notice the coal sidings located between the junction and the station, which provided access to the coal wharfs identified in the above list.
