Cement Mills Halt railway station

Cement Mills Halt was a railway station between Cowes and Newport on the Isle of Wight.

It was a public railway station throughout its life, although principally used by workers at the cement works in Stag Lane.

[1] It was not included on public time tables[2] but was available to ramblers visible enough on the primitive gas-lit platform to stop the train "on request".

[6] The Francis Co. had the contract to supply all the Portland cement for the construction of the fourth Eddystone Lighthouse.

The small platform was just beyond the far gate on the west side of the line, near to the blue sign. The old cement mills lay to the east of the line, now the site of the modern Vestas works, part of which is seen to the right of picture.
