<b>Greatstone RH&amp;DR railway station (site), Kent</b><br>Opened in 1928 as "Greatstone Dunes" by the Romney Hythe &amp; Dymchurch Railway, which is a 15 in (381 mm) gauge light railway, on the line from Hythe to Dungeness, the "Dunes" suffix was soon dropped. The station closed to passengers in 1983.
<p>At one time boasting two platforms, each with waiting rooms, a ticket office, a signal box and a water tower, the traffic to justify this never really materialised and they were all later demolished, except for one waiting room which was incorporated into an army pillbox during the Second World War, and this still stands.

The line was singled in 1946 but the degraded platform would still appear to be extant in the foreground of this image.
