Sheppey Light Railway: Site of the former Minster on Sea station
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: 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. |
