Droxford railway station

Droxford railway station

Droxford railway station was an intermediate station on the Meon Valley line which ran from Alton to Fareham during the first half of the 20th century. Opened on 1 June 1903, it has a place in every history book as the location where Churchill and Eisenhower put the finishing touches to the D Day invasion plans. A particularly difficult line to construct(It cost the equivalent of 27 millionGBP), the section from Droxford to Knowle was retained for several years to test new designs, finally being lifted after a fire in 1970. Today the station is a very private residence. |}
