Whitstable Harbour railway station
Doesn't File:Whitstable Harbour railway station (1960s).JPG show the second station in the foreground, with the first station in the background? Compare the latter with Illustration 98 in Branch Lines around Canterbury by Mitchell and Smith. Mjroots (talk) 13:17, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I think you may be correct. I no longer have the Mitchell & Smith book or the definitive account of the line by Brian Hart, but looking at Whitstable Through Time, there are images of the first and second stations which appear to correspond to the structures in the image I uploaded.

 * I've captioned the image as such on the Whitstable Harbour railway station article. Will leave it to you as to whether or not you amend the description on the file's page at Commons. Mjroots (talk) 08:34, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Now amended. I think it would be worth clarifying how many Harbour stations there were. Quick has identified three: 1830-1846 (C&W), 1846-1895 (SER), 1895-1931 (SECR). It's quite possible the original C&W station was the timber structure seen adjacent to the 1846 station in the first image in Whitstable Through Time. Lamberhurst (talk) 08:42, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
