Westerham Station

 

 

 

A view of the terminus of Westerham in July 1960 The Station was built during a time of financial restraint with the goal of keeping costs to a minimum. As a result, all of the station’s buildings were constructed out of timber, a cost-effective material compared to traditional brick or stone. The station, which served as the terminus of the line, featured a single platform located on the up (north) side of the tracks. This platform was accompanied by a single-storey building that stretched 70 feet in length and was built with tongue-and-groove timber. Its roof was hipped and covered in slate, with two brick chimneystacks rising from its surface. The building was situated on a low brick base, .In some respects it was in the style of Col. Stephens buildings but larger.

 

In 1882, the Crown Hotel opened directly opposite the station, providing convenient accommodation for travel for Passengers arriving by rail.

The Station opened on the 3rd July 1881

The Station was closed on the 3rd October 1961.
