Bulverhythe (also known as St Leonards Bulverhythe [3] ) was a temporary railway station on the Brighton Lewes and Hastings Railway in Bulverhythe, now part of Hastings, East Sussex. [4]
The independent Brighton, Lewes & Hastings Railway was incorporated in 1844 to construct a 32+1⁄2-mile (52.3 km) line from Brighton to Bulverhythe, 2+3⁄4 miles (4.4 km) from Hastings. [5] A temporary terminus named "Bulverhythe" was opened on 27 June 1846 on a site near the Bull Inn on the modern day A259 Bexhill Road [6] pending the construction of a bridge over the River Asten. [7] The station remained open for just under six months, before the line was extended to a permanent station at St Leonards West Marina in November 1846. [8] The Brighton, Lewes & Hastings Railway was taken over by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway in 1847.
