The viaduct was opened in July 1841. The 11 million bricks needed for its construction travelled up the Ouse River (via Newhaven and Lewes) from the Netherlands. It cost £38,500 to build[4] (equivalent to about £2½ million in 2000[5]).

The structure is a Grade II listed building and was restored in 1996 with grants from the Railway Heritage Trust and English Heritage. Matching stone was imported from France, to ensure a close match with the existing balustrades and pavilions.[6]

The viaduct is still used, with around 110 trains per day passing over it on the Brighton Main Line.

"This house was cute, clean and well equipped with amenities. Many details were well thought out. I appreciated the well designed little kitchen with its nice quality appliances. The mattress in the primary bedroom was very comfortable. We were able to walk to the fun vintage shops in a few minutes and the beach is also easily within walking distance. I would highly recommend this cute property. "
