History
The first station to serve the town opened in 1846 was on the up and down sides across the top of Station Square, now Devonshire Square. The present station was opened in June 1902 and replaced the previous station. Platforms of the new station overlapped the old station and therefore there were exceptionally long platforms, approximately . The station was known as Bexhill Central after July 1923, when the Southern Railway was formed. This was because the former SECR establishment in Terminus Road took was also Bexhill. Bexhill Central reverted to Bexhill sometime after the SECR establishment closed in June 1964.Railway Passenger Stations by M.Quick page 80
