Built by the Southern Railway, one of the big four railway companies created in 1923 which operated all of the rail services to Bexhill until the nationalisation of the railways and the creation of British Railways in 1948.
This station is typical of the Southern Railway’s 1930s architecture - a plain interwar Modern style red-brick building with hipped roof. The station had opened as Cooden Golf Halt in 1905, renamed Cooden Halt by 1922, and Cooden Beach in 1935 after the station’s enlargement and reconstruction.
The platforms retain their historic 1930s steel canopies, weatherboard buildings and the concrete covered ramps leading down to ticket hall and street level.
