Kington railway station was a station in Kington, Herefordshire, England. Replacing an earlier terminus station which had been opened in 1857,[3] the station was opened in 1875 and closed in 1964.[1] The final passenger service had been on 5 February 1955, and passenger services were withdrawn two days later.[4][5]
The 1857 station building can still be seen on what is now the Hatton Gardens Industrial Estate.
A model of the station, as it appeared in the mid-1940s, may be viewed at the nearby Kington Museum.[6]
