The line from Faversham to Canterbury East was opened on 9th July 1860 by the London, Chatham & Dover Railway. On 22nd July 1861 this was extended from Canterbury East to Dover. Aylesham station was opened by the Southern Railway on 1st July 1928 to cater for the considerable increase in passenger traffic brought about by the development of the Kent Coalfield. This is the view from the up platform looking in the direction of Dover.
