Summary

Description
English: Brighton Toy and Model Museum, Trafalgar Street Underneath the arches of Brighton station almost hidden away is this delightful little museum that has been exciting kids and making adults nostalgic since 1991. See http://www.brightontoymuseum.co.uk/index.html for more details. The door to the right marks a former cab route to the station platforms. When the station was built the bridge in view and the entrance from Queens Road did not exist, horse drawn carriages had to climb Trafalgar Street but the street was too steep at the top. Consequently, a cab road was built with a lesser gradient allowing entry to platforms 7 and 8. When the new entrance and new road were constructed the arches beneath the station were filled in though the course of the road still exists but no longer has access to the platforms. The windows on the bridge are next to the taxi rank and service road within the station and I'm certain they were added in the 1970s unless my memories as a child of looking down Trafalgar Street from above are deceiving me. Taken from Frederick Place and looking towards the junction with Trafalgar Street.
