Ham Street station was opened on 13th February 1851, although the adjacent village is now shown on Ordnance Survey maps and road signs as Hamstreet. Like many former South Eastern Railway stations, the platforms are staggered and are linked by a central foot crossing - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3212695 This arrangement was constructed where a footbridge was not provided and allowed passengers to cross behind trains if two were at the station simultaneously. This footpath leads away from the foot crossing and links with the Greensand Way and Saxon Shore Way as they pass through Ham Street Woods National Nature Reserve. The latter can be seen ahead.
