History
Although the section of the Hastings line through Crowhurst was completed in 1852, no station existed at this location until the
South Eastern and Chatham Railway (SECR) built a branch line to
Bexhill West in 1902. Crowhurst served as a junction station, with Up and Down through platforms and a
bay platform at the southern end of each until closure of the Bexhill West branch in 1964. Most of the station buildings have been demolished, but the remains of the bay platforms are still visible and a small building survives on the Up side. The station is normally unstaffed.
