This photographic print shows the Brighton and Rottingdean Seashore Electric Railway, commonly known as the 'Daddy Longlegs'. The tracks and wheels are visible, and the car is heading towards Rottingdean with a small amount of passengers. The railway was built by Magnus Volk and first ran in 1896. The line closed for repairs in 1900 but disagreements between Volk and the Brighton Corporation prevented the line from reopening.
