The Medway Valley Line was built in two stages by the South Eastern Railway. The first stage opened in 1844 was from Paddock Wood following the Medway Valley to Maidstone. In 1856 the line was extended down the Medway Valley to the North Kent Line at Strood (which had opened in 1847). Snodland station opened like the rest of the line on 18th June 1856. The original station building on the northbound platform was closed in the 1990s and became an Indian restaurant. This view of the station from the footbridge sees a northbound train on its way to Strood.
