Henstridge railway station was a station at Henstridge in the county of Somerset, in England. It was located on the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway. Sited on a single line stretch, the station had one short platform with a modest station building. A siding was controlled from a ground frame, and an adjacent level crossing operated by hand.

History

The station was "formally" opened on 31 August 1863 on the completion of the Blandford Forum to Templecombe section of the Dorset Central Railway, which had merged with the Somerset Central Railway the previous year to form the Somerset and Dorset. However public traffic did not start until 10 September, after the Board of Trade's inspection.[1] As part of the southern section of the line, it was under the administrative control of the London and South Western Railway after the Somerset and Dorset came under joint ownership of the LSWR and the Midland Railway in 1875. Becoming part of the Southern Region of British Railways when the railways were nationalised in 1948, the station was closed to passengers when the S&DJR main line closed on 7 March 1966. Goods traffic had ceased a year earlier.

The site today

Today the site is a green area at the edge of a residential estate. A road overbridge to the north of the station site helps to mark the location.[1]Шаблон:Dead link
