Grove Ferry and Upstreet railway station

Grove Ferry and Upstreet was a railway station in east Kent. It was opened by South Eastern Railway , on the Ashford to Ramsgate line between Sturry station and Minster station.

Grove Ferry station opened on 13 April 1846, the rural station was built to serve the village of Upstreet and the ferry crossing of the Great Stour until 1966, when a bridge was built. The nearby "Grove Ferry Inn" owned the rights to the ferry and farmed 17 acres of lavender, creating a popular day trip destination up until the Second World War; this is now part of the Grove Ferry Picnic Area. The public level crossing and goods sidings leading to the ferry were operated from a small signal box.
