Carpark off The Promenade
On the 1907 25-inch Ordnance Survey map, The Promenade appears as Station Parade as this carpark used to be the site of Leysdown-on-Sea's railway station when it was the terminus of The Sheppey Light Railway. According to http://www.sheppeywebsite.co.uk/index.php?id=95 the railway opened on 1 August 1901 and closed on 4 December 1950. The total length was 8 miles 52 chains. It ran from Queenborough (where there was a north-facing bay platform on the east side of the station) to Leysdown with intermediate stations at Sheerness East, East Minster-on-Sea (which was actually west of Minster), Minster-on-Sea (they're only given as Minster in the link), Brambledown Halt, Eastchurch and Harty Road Halt. Today, one can trace most of the route from the air and on the Ordnance Survey map (Explorer 149). On the ground, one can find sections overgrown with grass, brambles and trees, sections built over, sections concreted over to form a permanent way or landscaped to form paths for pedestrians.

The Promenade, Leysdown-on-Sea
I've seen it described as the "Las Vegas" of the Isle of Sheppey - I think that's pushing it a bit. Apart from the many arcades, caravan parks and a choice of three fish and chip shops it doesn't have much to offer unless you want a new pair of flip-flops or a tacky souvenir. The beach is quiet though and the tide goes out a very long way so if estuary mud is your thing...
