Wittersham Road was one of the original stations on the 12 miles (19 km) line opened by the Rother Valley Railway between Rolvenden and Robertsbridge in 1900.

As with the station buildings at Bodiam and Northiam, a corrugated iron structure was provided at Wittersham Road, but this time lacking a platform awning.

[9] The Kent and East Sussex Railway extended their operations to Wittersham Road on 5 March 1977, following the replacement of a bridge over the Newmill Channel.

A collection of items was sourced from Heathfield, Cranbrook and Deal the station building itself came from Borth on the Cambrian Line in Wales.

[11] A water tower from Shrewsbury Abbey on Colonel Stephens' Shropshire and Montgomeryshire Railway was later erected on site in April 1980.
