Sheppey Light Railway: Site of the former Scocles Road crossing
The Sheppey Light Railway ran from Queenborough to Leysdown-on-Sea. It was built to the designs of the renowned light railway engineer, Colonel Fred Holman Stephens, and was opened in 1901. Traffic was never busy on the line and it was taken over by the South Eastern and Chatham Railway in 1905, finally closing in 1950.
The railway would have crossed over Scocles Road here, but not quite at right angles to it, at about where the cones are on the right. Image was just to the right. A house has now been built on the route of the railway to the left of the old crossing here but its site boundaries match the old boundary of the railway, so are not perpendicular to the road.

Sheppey Light Railway: Site of the former Minster on Sea station
The Sheppey Light Railway ran from Queenborough to Leysdown-on-Sea. It was built to the designs of the renowned light railway engineer, Colonel Fred Holman Stephens, and was opened in 1901. Traffic was never busy on the line and it was taken over by the South Eastern and Chatham Railway in 1905, finally closing in 1950.
The former Minster on Sea station would have been about where the tree is beyond the double power poles. Looking at old maps it is easy to see why the railway failed to thrive. When it was built the nearest house was over 500 metres away up the hill in Minster.
