In this book Peter Harding looks at the short branch line from Sandling Junction to Hythe and nearby Sandgate which opened in 1874 and closed in 1951 with the Hythe to Sandgate section having closed 20 years earlier.

Peter also looks at the tramway which ran along the coast from Sandgate Hill Lift before turning inland to reach the Red Lion Hotel in Hythe. There was also a branch to serve Hythe station. The tramway only lasted until 1921 before it was completely closed.
