The station opened in 1908 and closed in 1947. HistoryThe South Eastern and Chatham Railway opened a new halt at the growing village of Cheriton on 1 May 1908, {{convert|0.5|mi|km}} away from Shorncliffe later Folkestone West. The station, comprising two wooden platforms, was perched on the embankment just to the east of the underbridge on the B2063 Risborough Lane.[2] Each platform was equipped with basic facilities: a ticket hut and waiting shelter, running-in boards and a row of gas lamps kept by the resident haltkeeper.[3] The station was served solely by Elham Valley Railway trains and closed as a wartime economy measure during both wars, before closing definitively with the rest of the Elham Valley Railway in 1947.[4] {{Disused Rail Start}}{{Rail line|previous=Lyminge|next=Shorncliffe|route=Southern RailwayElham Valley Railway|col=008000}}{{end}} References1. ^Butt, R.V.J.
