Bodiam Railway Station in 1956

Bodiam train station is situated in Sussex, England. The single platform station opened as late as 1900 partly for the local industry which grew hops for Guiness.
Due to increased competition from road haulage and decreasing passenger numbers the station was closed in 1954.

Not all doom and gloom though as it was purchased by the (now) Kent and East Sussex Railway and was re-opened in 2000 as their southern terminus of the KESR heritage railway.
