Bluebell seeks to return sparkle to ‘jewel in the crown’
THE Bluebell Railway has launched an appeal for at least £500,000 to help finance the repair of leaking roofs and replacement of rotting beams at the Grade II-listed Horsted Keynes station.
Built in 1882 by the London Brighton and South Coast Railway as part of the Lewes-East Grinstead line, it was bought by the Bluebell Railway in the 1960s and the heritage line has maintained it and decorated it in the style of a Southern Railway junction station from the 1930s.
