The station was opened by the London and Brighton Railway on 27 June 1846,[1] and was extended in 1890. The neighbouring station cottages were built between 1846 and 1892. The English Heritage report describes this station as 'in all one of the most complete wayside country station ensembles.'[2]
Signal box
The Berwick signal box was a Saxby & Farmer Type 5 box, erected in 1879 and retained its original lever frame and semaphore signalling. Following an upgrade by Network Rail, the box was closed in February 2015, with the area now controlled from Sussex Regional Operations Centre at Three Bridges.[3]
