History

Located in the centre of the island on the A3020 road, [1] it was an intermediate station [2] on the line from Newport to Sandown, which was originally operated by the Isle of Wight (Newport Junction) Railway (incorporated 1868). [3] The station opened in 1875 and closed, along with the line itself, in 1956. [4] A rural station whose "heyday was before the advent of the motor car", [5] during the inter-war years it was known for its large collection of enamel advertising boards. [6] The station survives as an enlarged private house [7] known as Brambles. The old railway track is now a cycle track, though this diverges slightly from the course of the old railway around the station building itself.
