Carisbrooke railway station

Carisbrooke Station was an intermediate station on the Freshwater, Yarmouth and Newport Railway, situated near the village of Carisbrooke just outside Newport. It was a busy station for the nearby castle until the advent of the bus routes, but little used thereafter. Closed in 1953 its goods yard was by then derelict and overgrown (its only recent use having been by prisoners during World War II ). The station has long been demolished and the site barely discernible within a school playing field.
