East Sussex Railways: Volume 2: Branch Lines and Other Railways, by Paul O'Callaghan, published 15 February 2012 (80 pp., Seaford: S. B. Publications, ISBN-10: 1857703669 & ISBN-13: 9781857703665) accessible at: East Sussex Libraries

The important East Sussex Coastal Railway, which crosses between Ashford and Brighton, once had numerous connecting branches and narrow gauge lines running from or near it, many of which have been lost to us over the years. This book, the second of two volumes (the first of which explores the main Ashford-Brighton route), investigates the fascinating histories of these lesser-celebrated railways, with many remarkable photographs and previously unpublished details.
This is the second book from Paul O'Callaghan, who lives in Eastbourne.
