BISHOPSTONE STATION

Friends of Bishopstone Station in conjunction with GTR, Network Rail, the Railway Heritage trust, and in partnership with South East Communities Rail Partnership, are now in the exciting final stages of finishing Phase 1 of this unique Grade II listed Art Deco building.

Five years ago we adopted the station, always with restoration being the main aim and bringing it back to its Art Deco glory. We then found ourselves in a position where the Old Parcel room became vacant, and now we are going to lease this space creating a much- needed community hub for the local residents and wider community.

A great deal of work has gone in to this in order for it to be fully functional. Fundraising began, and with the Community fully supporting us, we plan to open late September 2022.

The Community Hub can be used for many purposes such as a drop-in centre, a place for Care for Carers, art and exercise classes, education, history events, simple IT training, coffee mornings, knit and stitch, a meeting room – the list goes on and all ideas are welcome. In September we are kicking off with the Artwave project followed by a formal launch.

Interested parties wishing to donate, or book the Old Parcel room should contact us on: Facebook: Friends of Bishopstone Station Email: friendsofbishopstonestation@yahoo.com Tel: 07501 672424.
