EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic Brighton Viaduct, an engineering marvel of the 19th century, as a train crosses over Preston Road in June 1846. The viaduct, which opened to the public in December of that year, was a crucial addition to the Brighton, Lewes and Hastings Railway. The first stone of this impressive structure was laid by W. Nash, the chairman of the Midland Railway, on the 13th of August 1845. The Brighton Viaduct, an important part of the railway's history, was a significant import for the region as it allowed for easier transportation between Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings. The viaduct's construction marked a turning point in the area's transportation infrastructure, making travel more accessible and convenient for residents and visitors alike. This photograph, taken in the month of June, captures the train in motion as it gracefully crosses the viaduct, its steam billowing in the air. The Preston Road below is bustling with activity, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the time. The Brighton Viaduct, with its arches and intricate design, stands tall and proud, a testament to the engineering prowess of the era. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the past, transporting us back in time to an age of innovation and progress. The Brighton Viaduct, a historical landmark and an engineering marvel, continues to be a source of fascination and inspiration for generations to come.
