Cement Mills Halt was a railway station between Cowes and Newport on the Isle of Wight. It was a public railway station throughout its life, although principally used by workers at the cement works in Stag Lane.[1] It was not included on public time tables[2] but was available to ramblers visible enough on the primitive gas-lit platform to stop the train "on request".[3] The trackway is now part of a national cycle route.[4]
