}}{{stack end}}Mill Hill railway station is a disused station in Cowes on the Isle of Wight. It was first seen as the down train from the main Cowes railway station emerged from the 208 yard tunnel along the curving platform,[1] the sweep still visible in 2005[2] on a small area of grass where the demolished station[3] once stood.[4] Unlike many of the Island's railway stations, Mill Hill was busy at the beginning and end of each working day, depositing and picking up hundreds of workmen from shipyards.[5]

Conversely, after passenger closure in 1966 a single employee spent six months on duty at the crossing just past the station with not one chance to open it,[6] although freight traffic continued to Medina Wharf for a few months after passenger trains were withdrawn.
