Mottisfont railway station
Mottisfont railway station served the village of Mottisfont, Hampshire, England, from 1865 to 1964 on the Sprat and Winkle Line. The unusual name is probably derived from the Old English motes funta, meaning 'spring near the confluence' or 'spring of the moot' or possibly 'spring of the stone' (from the Old English motere: sonte). The nearby Dunbridge station on the Wessex Main Line has been renamed as Mottisfont and Dunbridge. The Test Way and Monarch's Way long-distance footpaths pass through the village. HistoryThe station was opened on 6 March 1865 on the London and South Western Railway. It closed on 7 September 1964.[1][2] TodayThe station today has now been converted into a home. There is still evidence of the crossing posts, and the station platforms have been preserved. References
