Cooden Beach
View from preserved 1957 Hastings Thumper unit no. 1001 on a UK Railtours charter heading towards Eastbourne, passing the English Channel at Cooden Beach, on the afternoon of Saturday, 12th August 2023. The line here was opened in 1846 by the Brighton, Lewes & Hastings Railway, later part of the LBSCR which company opened Cooden Golf Halt on 11th September 1905. On an unspecified date in 1922, it became simply Cooden Halt with the line electrified by the Southern Railway in May 1935 who upgraded the halt to a station and renamed it Cooden Beach on 7th July of the same year, concurrently with the building of some desirable residences in the area.
