Tankerton Halt Railway Station
Tankerton Halt was a minor station on the Canterbury and Whitstable Railway at Tankerton, Kent. It opened in 1914 and closed in 1931.
History
Tankerton Halt was opened on 1 July 1914. It was located immediately north of the point where the Canterbury and Whitstable Railway crossed the Faversham–Margate line. A footpath connected it with the nearby Whitstable Town station. The halt was provided with a small building which served as a ticket office. Lighting was by gas. The entire structure was built of wood. The halt closed on 1 January 1931, when passenger services ceased on the Canterbury and Whitstable Railway. The station was demolished after closure and the site is now undeveloped.
