History

Fullerton Bridge station, on the Sprat and Winkle line, opened in 1865. When the Hurstbourne-Fullerton branch opened in 1885, the platforms were moved slightly to the south and the station was re-named Fullerton Junction. The station master's house remained at the original site. The branch to Hurstbourne closed for passengers in 1931 and totally in 1956. Fullerton Junction station closed along with the Kimbridge to Andover section of the Sprat and Winkle in 1964. The track was lifted and the buildings at the Junction station were demolished, although the platforms survive, covered in trees. The buildings at the original station are now private houses.[1][2]
