How Mill was a railway station which served the village of The How, nearBrampton in Cumbria. The station was closed in 1959, just four years before the Beeching Axe.

The How was on one side of the station, almost a mile away, while the Mill was on the other side. The Mill was a sawmill and a house where the family lived who own the Mill. A level crossing was in place in the early 1940s.
