Mill Hill was the penultimate station before Cowes which opened with the Cowes & Newport Railway in 1862 and had just the one platform, with neither passing loop nor siding. Just to the north of the station was the 208 yard Mill Hill tunnel, the shortest of the four tunnels on the island. A very neat and tidy looking Mill Hill station photographed in 1963 with, as is so obvious, the tunnel entrance just off the end of the platform. photograph by Keith Harwood Three years later, in February 1966, the station seems unchanged though the posters have gone and closure is just around the corner. photograph: John Bradshaw collection The station nameboard, shelter and a barley twist lamp post (carrying a BR totem) which seems to have lost its lamp, February 1966. photograph: John Bradshaw collection This page was last updated 3 December 2002 |
