I agree with Mr Manville. There was a foundry at Brighton Station (Letters, July 1).

I was taken to the station yard on an open day in 1938.

The furnaces were below ground.

At the time, they were making gates and railings but, in previous years, they had made boilers for the steam trains.

They also demonstrated the manufacture of stools in a sand box.
