Books There are a limited number of photographs from this period and therefore you tend to find the same pictures in a number of publications. The following give a good selection: Wild Swan EJ Bedford of Lewes, Photographer of the LB&SCR by John Minnis Middleton Press South Coast Railways - Brighton to Eastbourne by V Mitchell and K Smith Haywards Heath to Seaford by V Mitchell and K Smith  ISBN 0 906867 75 4 ISBN 0 906520 16 9 ISBN 0 906520 28 2
Photographs Prints and digital masters taken from the original glass plates of this period are capable of giving great detail, beyond the lower resolution reproduction in books. If you want to scrutinise the detail I thoroughly recommend purchasing your own copies direct from the museums.
The National Railway Museum/Science & Society Picture Library and The Sussex Archaeological Society have kindly allowed me to reproduce low resolution images of some of the images I have collected
