Hampton Loade formerly Hampton
(1862 - 1963)
Hampton Loade station opened as part of
the Severn Valley Line on February 1 1862, appearing as
'Hampton' in the public timetable
It was originally built with one platform and siding; a
passing-loop and second platform being added in 1883
Although closed by British Rail during the implementation of the
Beeching Axe in 1963, plans for its closure had already been
made before Beeching's report was published. Following closure
all signalling equipment was removed from Hampton Loade, and the
signal box was almost completely demolished after purchase from
BR by the residents of Station House for use as a chicken coop
