The line from Faversham to Canterbury East was opened on 9th July 1860 by the London, Chatham & Dover Railway, and Selling station followed on 3rd December 1860. The original station was destroyed by fire in the early 1990s, shortly before it was to be made a listed building. The signal box which was here can now be seen at Eythorne station on the East Kent Light Railway. This is the view from the end of the down platform towards the remains of an old siding which can be seen here, now lost amongst trees. The view of this from the footbridge at the station can be seen at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3409957
