NEWHAVEN LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT - Opened by the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway in 1887, Newhaven was a sub-shed of Brighton from 1950. It was a corrugated iron 4-road dead-ended shed on the west side of the station. In January 1947, it had an allocation of 15 engines: 10 small tank engines, 1 Class C2X 0-6-0 goods engine and 4 Class H2 4-4-2's. Even as a sub-shed, it could still often produce 10 or a dozen engines. The depot closed in September 1963. Seen here in April 1961 is Class A1X 'Terrier' 0-6-0T No.32670, a locomotive with a very colourful history, withdrawn from 71A Eastleigh in November 1963 and preserved subsequently.
