A 1914 Railway Clearing House map of lines around The Isle of Wight.

Godshill station was at Godshill on the Isle of Wight on the Newport, Godshill & St Lawrence Railway, later the Isle of Wight Central Railway.

History

It opened on 20 July 1897[1] as a single platform station with a small goods siding and this layout remained until closure. The station was reduced to the status of an unstaffed halt in 1927.

The station was not a financial success and never brought a large income to managers. There was some agricultural traffic, notably milk, and a few local passengers until the bus services became well established.

Stationmasters

  • William Froud ca. 1898 ca. 1901
  • Harry Alfred Phillips ca. 1910 ca. 1911
  • Frederick William Henry Stay 1917 - 1923[2]

Location

The station was surrounded by fields but at the same time ½ mile from the centre of the village. This is still the case today. The platform still stands and the station buildings have been converted into private dwellings.
