The line from Otford to Maidstone East was opened on 1st June 1874 by the London, Chatham & Dover Railway. On 1st July 1884 this was extended from Maidstone East to Ashford with intermediate stations opening at Bearsted, Hollingbourne, Harrietsham, Lenham and Charing on the same day. Harrietsham station is on the northern edge of the village with open countryside on the other side of the station. A footpath leads away from the down platform across fields to meet the Pilgrim's Way which is also followed here by the North Downs Way. In this photograph the part of the station building to the left has been converted to a children's nursery.
