(TQ 84407561 - TQ 84407825) Dismantled Railway (NAT) (1) The double track branch line from Stoke Junction to Allhallows was opened on 14th May 1932 and closed on 4th December 1961 (2). Site photographs (3-5).
This feature is recorded in the English Heritage Historic Area Assessment for Allhallows parish. The report states: "Little evidence of the former railway branch line remains. At the time of closure in 1961 the site at Allhallows on Sea included station buildings, platforms, a goods shed, water tank, rails and a turntable. Since 1975 most of this has been cleared to provide additional plots for the residential caravan estate, Allhallows Park. However, the metal pillar tank has survived in this rather incongruous setting. " The metal water tank is separately recored on the HER. (6)
