History
Tankerton Halt was opened on 1 July 1914. It was located immediately north of the point where the Canterbury and Whitstable Railway crossed the Faversham–Margate line.[1] A footpath connected it with the nearby Whitstable Town station. The halt was provided with a small building which served as a ticket office. Lighting was by gas.[2] The entire structure was built of wood.The halt closed on 2 January 1931, when passenger services ceased on the Canterbury and Whitstable Railway.[3] . The station was demolished after closure and the site is now undeveloped.
