A crowd gathers at Shoreham-by-Sea railway station and along the cliffs waving at two steam trains. The original Shoreham station was a terminus built by the London and Brighton Railway and was opened on 11th May 1840. However it was demolished in 1845 when the Brighton and Chichester Railway opened its line to Worthing railway station. Both railways merged with others in July 1846 to become the London Brighton and South Coast Railway.
