Thanks KeithG,


I don't know the area but I found a track plan of the railway and was able to match it up with your photo.  Even the Signal Box and Signal Posts are marked and match your photo.   Looks like a great area to have spent your childhood in and around.


Next GTP up later

Yes, bang on John Walker
Chattenden Station it is with the depot behind the camera.
Those woods were absolutely full of primroses and now whenever i see a primrose even in a shop the memories always rush back.

Over to you

Chattenden Railway Depot.  Branch to Upnor off to the left and the other to Chattenden Depot and Hoo on the right?

John Walker... sorry not that line.


Stuartwaters... Yes, it is part of that line
but which  part is that particular junction or station.


The trees on the left were part of a wood on a hill and us kids used to play soldiers and play hide and seek around that pillbox.

Would it be the line which connected the Royal Naval Armaments Depots at Chattenden and Lodge Hill to the one by the river at Upnor?

Is it the line that used to connect to the RHD railway near Dungeness?
