About the event

Uckfield's Railway - Triumph and Tragedy

Talk by Brian Hart

The opening of the Lewes-Uckfield Railway in 1858 engendered an extensive network connecting Sussex, Kent and Surrey. The railway brought trade and prosperity as towns grew and thrived. A bright future was all set to dawn in 1960 with electrification and modernisation - yet all came to naught. Why did this undeniable tragedy happen.....?
