Railway Station

Eastbourne Railway Station was built in 1886 by F. D. Bannister, who was the engineer for the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway. The station features yellow brick with red brick dressings and slate roofs, showcasing a combined Feneland Italian style. It has two fronts, with a clock tower topped by a sharp pyramid roof at the corner. To the left, there is a large semi-domed French pavilion roof covered in fish-scale tiles and topped with iron cresting. To the right, a rectangular hall boasts an arcaded upper storey and a wooden lantern. The original iron and glass canopies are mostly preserved on the exterior, although the concourse roof has been replaced with steel. There is also a 1930s Southern Railway extension to the left, designed in a contemporary style.
