Tankerton Halt railway station

Tankerton Halt was opened on 1 July 1914. It was located immediately north of the point where the Canterbury and Whitstable Railway crossed the Faversham–Margate line.^[1] A footpath connected it with the nearby Whitstable Town station. The halt was provided with a small building which served as a ticket office. Lighting was by gas.^[2] The entire structure was built of wood. The halt closed on 1 January 1931, when passenger services ceased on the Canterbury and Whitstable Railway.^[3] The station was demolished after closure and the site is now undeveloped.
