The Grange Museum has a wide range of exhibitions and displays of interest to all ages. Old Rottingdean is captured in a collection of photographs showing how the village has changed over time, including Magnus Volks’ amazing “Daddy-Long-Legs” seashore railway – a short-lived invention that ran three miles from a point opposite Paston Place in Brighton to a specially constructed pier at Rottingdean. Built on 24ft high stilts, to counteract the high tide through which it had to run, it accommodated 150 people, was virtually wrecked by a storm after running for one week in November 1896 and was repaired to return to service the following summer. Sadly, by 1901 it was deemed a white elephant and finally scrapped along with its pier in 1910.
