Opened in 1878 by the South Eastern Railway as its terminus on the short branch from Grove Park, this station was rebuilt as an island platform in 1926 by the Southern Railway. View south west towards the buffers. The 1878 station had two parallel platforms with three track between them, a turntable at the far end to turn incoming steam locomotives and wooden clapperboard buildings. The line was electrified in 1926 so no turntable was required for steam engines. The layout was therefore switched to this island platform with a goods yard containing 5 sidings to the far right of this view. That closed in 1968 - see Image See also Image for the Grade II listed 1926 station frontage.
