Station C.19	East Southsea Station. The line was opened on the 1 July 1885 as recorded in the inscription of a commemorative stone which is built into the wall. Though now painted over and not visible, it recorded that, 'Princess Edward of Saxe Weimar, wife of the Lieutenant Governor of the Garrison, cut the first sod, together with principal officers of the Southsea and South Western Company'. The fact that the contractor was John Mackay of Hereford is also recorded. The line was originally jointly worked by the London and South-Western Company and the London, Brighton and South Coast Company. The station itself was sold by the company in 1904 and subsequently used as garage premises. The trains continued to use a simple platform outside the station, until the line was closed on 8 August 1914. The main feature of the existing buildings is the porte cochere which consists of cast iron columns surmounted by a framework of metal beams.			SZ 650 984 2712 168
