History
[edit]The station was opened to the public in June 1914 by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway, although it was used earlier by miners and workmen on 1 January 1914 and used for the Temple Ewell Parish Council meeting on 30 March 1914. It was known as Lydden Halt around this time. It closed on 5 April 1954,[1] although it was used by staff going to Dover on 17 June 1957, when it was known as Stonehall.[2]
