The Old Line Towards Lewes
In the past, the railway line originally extended beyond Sheffield Park to Culver Junction (at Culver Farm just south of Barcombe Mills), with intermediate stations at Newick and Chailey and Barcombe along the way.
At Culver Junction it joined the 1858 Lewes to Uckfield line (part of which is now restored as the nearby Heritage Lavender Line), thereby gaining access to Lewes.
The section from East Grinstead to Culver Junction was closed in 1958, and the Lewes to Uckfield line in 1969 by British Rail.
