Description

The Extraordinary Daddy-Long-Legs Railway of Brighton The Brighton & Rottingdean Seashore Electric Railway, affectionately known as the "Daddy-Long-Legs," was a unique and fascinating piece of British seaside history. Built during the late Victorian era, it presented a remarkable sight, resembling a piece of pier that had broken away and was moving through the sea. Although it is no longer in operation, the Daddy-Long-Legs Railway remains an iconic part of Brighton's heritage. This book provides a detailed history of the railway, featuring a collection of photographs, plans, timetables, and posters. It also explores the connections between the Daddy-Long-Legs and other notable Brighton railways, such as Volk's Electric Railway. With its unique blend of history and visual content, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of Brighton's railways.
