Wingham (Canterbury Road) railway station was a terminus on the East Kent Light Railway. It opened in 1925 (named Wingham) and closed to passenger traffic on 30 October 1948. There was a siding to the south of the road, and carriages were usually run into the station under gravity.[1]
After closure the cutting containing the station was infilled and covered with a field of crops. The site of the sidings are now occupied by "The Ranch Cafe " adjacent to which is a short section of undisturbed trackbed.
