Brighton Daddy Electric Legs Rottingdean Volks

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, titled "Volk's Brighton to Rottingdean Electric Railway: Daddy Long Legs," is a stunning snapshot of a bygone era, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, available at Mary Evans Prints Online. The image showcases the Volks Railway, a quaint electric railway that once connected the seaside town of Brighton with the picturesque village of Rottingdean in England. The photograph's title, "Daddy Long Legs," refers to the railway's distinctive and charming vintage trams, which resemble the long, spindly legs of a daddy long legs spider. These trams, with their unique design and character, were a beloved feature of the railway, adding to the overall charm and allure of the journey. The photograph captures the trams making their way along the coastal route, with the Brighton seafront and the English Channel in the background. The trams appear to be making a stop, as passengers disembark and gather their belongings, while others wait on the platform, eager to board. The scene is bathed in the warm glow of a vintage lantern, casting an ethereal and romantic light over the image. The Volks Railway was a popular mode of transportation for both locals and tourists, offering a scenic and affordable way to explore the beautiful Sussex coastline. The railway operated from 1883 until 1933, when it was closed due to declining ridership and the advent of motorized transportation. Today, the railway is fondly remembered as an important piece of Sussex history, and this photograph is a beautiful reminder of its charm and character.
