- Hampton Row Halt railway station
Hampton Row Halt railway station is a former railway station in Bath, Somerset, England.
Architecture and opening
.
The station had two platforms linked by an iron foot bridge which still exists.
The station is on the south side of the river Avon, but to the north of the Kennet and Avon Canal which had to be relocated further south when the railway was built.
ubsequent history
The station was open for only a short period during which trams and motor transport were becoming more commonplace. As a street, Hampton Row leads only on to the canal towpath, which limited the station's accessibility.
Closure
The station was closed in 1917 as an economy measure during the First World War and did not reopen when peace came.
Current uses
The station has been almost entirely dismantled showing up only as a vacant space between the railway lines and the road or canal embankment. A section of rail forms a barrier between a turning/parking area at the end of Hampton Row and railway property. Hampton Row suffered bomb damage during World War II and was never redeveloped.
