HistoryDuring World War II, in 1940, the Admiralty requisitioned Ditcham Park, a nearby country house for use as a convalescent home for sailors (the house is now a private school). The halt was built to serve Ditcham Park, principally for trains from the extensive naval facilities in Portsmouth about {{convert|20|km|mi|abbr=on}} away. Woodcroft Halt, which was also known as Ditcham Park Halt, opened on 4 October 1943, and closed on 1 October 1945.[1] Because of its naval nature, it was featured on few maps, but some maps did mark it by a little tab without a name. It was closed in 1945 and subsequently demolished. Today, merely a footbridge remains. LocationThe halt was located {{convert|59|mi|72|chain|km|lk=on}} from Waterloo,[2] at {{gbmapping|SU737161}}[1] which is now marked on the OS 1:25000 map as "Woodcroft Farm". The stations to either side were {{stnlnk|Petersfield}} and {{stnlnk|Rowlands Castle}}.[1] {{Historical Rail Start}}{{rail line |previous={{stnlnk|Petersfield}}Line and station open |next={{stnlnk|Rowlands Castle}} Line and station open |route=Southern Railway Portsmouth Direct Line |col={{SR colour}} }}{{end box}} Notes1. ^1 2 {{cite book |last1=Croughton |first1=Godfrey |last2=Kidner |first2=R.W. |last3=Young |first3=Alan |title=Private and Untimetabled Railway Stations |year=1982 |publisher=Oakwood Press |location=Salisbury |isbn=0-85361-281-1 |page=142 }} 2. ^{{cite book |last=Yonge |first=John |editor-last=Jacobs |editor-first=Gerald |title=Railway Track Diagrams 5: Southern & TfL |edition=3rd |date=November 2008 |origyear=1994 |publisher=Trackmaps |location=Bradford on Avon |isbn=978-0-9549866-4-3 |at=map 26B }} References
