Hampstead Norris railway station


Hampstead Norris railway station was a station on the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway in England. It served the village of Hampstead Norreys in Berkshire. The station closed in 1962.

Facilities

The station was originally built with only a small ticket office and a single platform serving both northbound and southbound trains. However, due to demand the station was eventually expanded to include a passing loop and an additional platform. A small siding and goods shed were used mainly for agricultural goods.

Present day

The station area has been comprehensively redeveloped and almost the only evidence it was ever in the village is a road called "Station Hill". The rail bridge on entering the village from Hermitage still stands with the stump of a loading crane under the bridge preserved. Another large rail bridge just to the north of the village still stands in good condition.
