The site of Teston Crossing Halt – between East Farleigh and Wateringbury, is about 200 yards (180 m) from the mediaeval Teston Bridge taking foot and road passengers across the river, one of only four such bridges between Maidstone and Paddock Wood. The station was demolished after closure leaving no trace of its existence.
