Tracing the Rails

Welcome to 'Tracing the Rails', a captivating documentary series that invites viewers to journey through the heart of Sussex’s railway heritage.

Currently we are filming Episode 3, illuminating the fascinating history of the now vanished Shoreham to Horsham railway line, affectionately referred to as The Steyning Line.

Join our host, Stephen Cranford, acclaimed from BBC Radio Sussex, as we uncover hidden stories, engage with local communities, and reveal visuals of the once-thriving Steyning Line. Expertly directed by Chris Kirk and produced by Lou Partridge and supported by Mike Jaimes, who are proud to be joining forces with Stephen.

The most exciting news is that the series is going to be broadcast on TV! Watch this space for news.

Please help us to continue making these wonderful documentaries by joining our Patreon and becoming a patron of the show.
