Land Use Since Closure
The site is now the Freshfield Industrial Estate. The portal of the railway tunnel leading through to the site of Hartington Road Halt (now a block of flats), and eventually to the also-lost Lewes Road Station, may still be viewed from the compound of a self-storage warehouse and van rental company. Hartington Road viaduct was demolished in 1973, Lewes Road viaduct following in 1976. The Sainsbury's supermarket, at the point where the latter viaduct approached Lewes Road Station, incorporates tall arches of dark brick in its outer façade, recalling the viaduct. A gap in the Victorian houses of D'Aubigny Road, uphill from the supermarket, indicates where the station once sat.

“O land and soil, red soil and sweet-gum tree,
So scant of grass, so profligate of pines,”
