English: Dismantled Railway, Rottingdean Beach The concrete blocks are the sole remnants of a railway that once linked Rottingdean to Banjo Groyne in Brighton. Built by Magnus Volk and opened in 1896 the tramcar ran on stilts powered by cables along a line fixed around 50 yards below the high tide mark. See http://www.mybrightonandhove.org.uk/page_id__7605_path__0p115p207p479p.aspx for a picture of it in operation. The line was short lived, extensive damage was caused by a storm in December 1896 which also finished off the Chain Pier, and although Volk had it working again in 1897 it ceased operating in 1901 when Brighton Corporation wished to build groynes which would cause Volk to realign the lines further out to sea. Some of the cable poles were still standing in the 1930s but today only the concrete blocks remain and the course of the line cut through the rocks on the seabed. This view looks from a point near the former Rottingdean terminus.
