It opened in 1907 and closed in 1959. HistoryThe railway line between Ashford and {{stnlnk|Hastings}} was opened by the South Eastern Railway in 1851.[1] The 1851 Census shows no activity, but the 1851 Census shows a "Railway Crossing" with the associated cottage shown occupied by a Platelayer in each subsequent Census.{{cn|date=July 2013}} The 1911 Census shows that the crossing cottage was occupied by James Sargent and that his wife Charlotte is the Crossing Keeper.{{cn|date=July 2013}} There were no stations between {{stnlnk|Winchelsea}} and Hastings[2][3] until {{stnlnk|Ore}} opened in 1888.[4] However, at the turn of the 19th century, the South Eastern and Chatham Railway (SECR) introduced a scheme to develop traffic on lightly used branch lines by providing basic halts served by railmotor services.[5] A sufficiently successful introduction of Kitson railmotors on the Hundred of Hoo Railway in 1906 to serve six new halts between {{rws|Gravesend}} and {{rws|Port Victoria}} persuaded the SECR to attempt the same scheme between {{stnlnk|Rye|East Sussex}} and Hastings,[6][7][8] three halts at a cost of £295 each were opened between Winchelsea and Ore on 1 July 1907:[9][10] Snailham Crossing Halt;[11] Guestling Halt;[12] and Three Oaks Bridge Halt.[13] Snailham Crossing Halt had two platforms;[14] its name was shortened to Snailham Halt in 1909.[11] It was situated in a remote location nearly ½-mile from the nearest dwelling and accessed via an unsurfaced country lane.[15] The railmotor services were not a great success as passengers disliked the units which also lacked operational flexibility.[16] Snailham Halt was closed on 2 February 1959,[11][10] and is the only station between Ashford and Hastings to have been closed.[17] References1. ^{{cite book |last=White |first=H.P. |editor1-last=Thomas |editor1-first=David St John |editor1-link=David St John Thomas |editor2-last=Patmore |editor2-first=J.
