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 million
GBP), 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.
