Brighton and Shoreham Tramways
The Brighton and Shoreham Tramway operated a tramway service in Shoreham between 1884 and 1913.
History
The Brighton and Shoreham Tramway ran from a terminus in Southdown Road, Shoreham to Westbourne Villas in Hove, on the former boundary between Hove and Portslade. It never penetrated Hove, although a connecting horse-bus was available from the Westbourne Villas terminus.Construction started in 1883 and route was opened throughout on 3 July 1884, initially with steam-driven trams. After this proved unsuccessful, other methods of propulsion were tried. In 1893 these were abandoned in favour of horses.
