Few people would associate Brighton with heavy industry, yet the London and Brighton built one of the first railway-owned locomotive building factories on a site next to the station. It built its first steam locomotive in 1852 and continued to do so in Southern Railway days. During World War II it built LMS type 4-6-0 freight locomotives for the War Department . After nationalisation, Brighton carried out a large part of new engine production for the Southern Region . However under the modernisation of British Railways in 1954 it was passed over and it closed in 1962 . REFERENCE
