Another nice day, so I took the opportunity to nip down to Pulborough for some more prototype pictures. All I can say is thank goodness for digital cameras...I took 86 pictures in 30 minutes 
We start from (north to south) at the scenic break for what will be the right-hand side of the layout from the viewing side...the road overbridge carrying Church Lane.
As can be seen, it is quite a nice structure built in a mixture of stone and brick.
The station can be seen clearly in the other direction.
Next is the very pretty signal box...complete with ringing bells etc. 
The goods shed, now a mechanics, is attached to the station building
The station itself it quite attractive, and not such a fearful proposition in terms of construction...
The main station buildings are situated on the down platform...the up platform being home to a waiting room.
This platform also used to be the departure point for the branch line to Midhurst. For many years following closure an engineers siding remained here; accessed from the north. Now this too has gone...leaving only the buffer stop. Nature, and the access road to the signal box have taken over.
The platform continues more or less to the road overbridge, which carries the line over the A283. A rather nice signal stands sentry at the end of the platform. The railings a little further on are the Arun viaduct. Just beyond this marks the end of the scenic section of the layout.
Finally a view of the bridge crossing the A283; you can see the signal clearly in this picture..
