Bromham and Rowde Halt was the railway station serving Bromham and Rowde in Wiltshire, England between 1909 and 1966. The station was a stop on the Devizes Branch Line, between Seend and Devizes.
The single-platform halt was at Sells Green in the north-east of Seend parish, close to the Devizes–Melksham road.[1] It handled vegetables grown in the Bromham area, as well as milk.
After the completion of the Devizes line in 1858, the junction at Holt allowed the fastest route from London to the West Country. However, the Devizes line lost to competition and returned to a branch line in 1900.
