Greyfriars and Lewes Railway Station, London, Brighton and South Coast Railway grey plaque

This grey commemorative plaque records: A Franciscan friary, know as the Greyfriars, stood on this site from 1224 until 1538. A substantial mansion called "The Friars" followed. In 1846 the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway built a station here. Passenger traffic ceased in 1857 and it was demolished in 1967.

Greyfriars, Lewes served as a Franciscan friary from 1224 to 1538, playing a significant role in medieval religious life; later becoming a railway station for the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway in 1846, it marked an important transition to modern transportation infrastructure.
