The station was located a mile north of the hamlet of Kenton. HistoryOpened by the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway, Kenton station was located {{convert|10|mi|km}} from Haughley and is sometimes referred to as Kenton Junction. This station had been intended to be the junction for the proposed branch to Westerfield, but this line was only {{convert|2|mi|km}} in length before construction ceased on the outskirts of Debenham. As well as having the double-ended corrugated station building with open fronted waiting room that were standard on the Mid-Suffolk, Kenton acted as a half way point on the railway and had a second platform and engine shed. After the line closed, the station site became an industrial estate. The station's running in board & a "Kenton" station sign are preserved in the National Railway Museum, York, as is the Kenton - Laxfield train staff. {{Disused Rail Start}}{{rail line|previous=Aspall and Thorndon|next=Worlingworth|route=Mid-Suffolk Light Railway|col=000000}}{{s-end}}References1. ^1 2 {{Butt-Stations}}
