5) 'twas the original Hove Station and was re-named Holland Road.

I think the station called 'Hove' that was open from 1840 to 1880 wasn't at quite the same location as Holland Road Halt (which was open from 1905 to 1956). Holland Road Halt was slightly to the west of the original Hove station.

Cliftonville and West Brighton Station opened in 1865 and was renamed Hove and West Brighton in 1893. It took on its present name (Hove) in 1895.

Then there's Dyke Junction and Rowan to consider as well.

Dyke Junction station is still there - now called Aldrington.

Rowan Halt was in Rowan Avenue, on the Devil's Dyke line, rather than the main 'Coastway' line.

If it is John Keeley, that's a different story to the one he told us.

 

[clapham_gull]

Was Don Shanks still playing for us when he ended up on the front page of the News of The World after a punch up with George Best ?

 

[smudge]

Why do I get the feeling that the only way you know any of this is because you've been to the library & signed out a few books?
