Botley Railway Station
Botley Station was opened on 29 November 1841 but was closed from 3 December that year until 7 February 1842 when a cutting through clay north of Fareham became unstable after heavy rains. Apart from the platforms, footbridge and siding on the right, very little in this photograph remains. The signal box, station house, canopy and wooden shelter on the nearer platform have all been demolished, the latter replaced by modern glass shelters. The goods yard beyond the station is now filled with stone-crushing and grading plant producing aggregate for construction purposes and other factories occupy the fields beyond.
