Yes you have it Pete, we used to take the children here in the 90s when it was the 'White Cliffs Experience' a very good day out.
The figures in the photo were part of a larger exhibit exploring the Roman landings at Richborough and also the port of Dover under Roman rule and the 'Classis Britania' fleet. I was at a loose end one day and decided to visit to see what remained displayed in the Dover Town museum, worth a visit when all opens up again.


Over to you  :)

Right on both counts JW the two figures used to be part of a larger diorama.

Thank you John Walker it’s nice to have a GTP that I can take part in! :)
[/size][/color]Wittersham Road is indeed a passing loop station between Rolvenden and Bodiam on the KE&SR. Trains do stop there and just by the signal box is a children's playground where we took the grandchildren whilst on a visit a couple of years ago. The Wittersham Road box I think I am right in saying was the former Deal Junction signal box located on the Kearsney Triangle on the 'Western' Junction. The junction now removed, allowed trains from the direction of Canterbury East to access the line toward Deal, Sandwich and Minster.[/size][/color] [/size][/color]I took the next picture a couple of years ago whilst on a 'solo' day out. Probably easy if you have been there! [/size]

Single line, no conductor rail, looks like a heritage railway. Is it Wittersham Road signal box on the Kent & East Sussex railway?


You have it Stewie.  Must be the least used halt on that line.  It's so remote. I'm not even sure if the trains stop there but it looks like it could be used as a passing loop.


Over to you  :D
