Mill Hill Railway Station is a disused station on the Isle of Wight. It was first seen as the down train from Cowes emerged from the 208 yard tunnel along the curving platform,〔Pomeroy, C,A Isle Of Wight Railways, Then and Now: Oxford,Past & Present Publishing, 1993, ISBN 0-947971-62-9〕 the sweep still visible in 2005 〔(Enthusiasts web-site )〕 on a small area of grass where the demolished station〔Built in 1880 Steaming Through the Isle Of Wight Hay,P: Midhurst,Middleton, 1988 ISBN 0-906520-56-8〕 once stood.〔Gammell C.J Southern Branch Lines:Oxford, OPC, 1997 ISBN 0-86093-537-X〕 Unlike many Island railway stations Mill Hill was busy at the beginning and end of each working day, depositing and picking up hundreds of workmen from shipyards. Conversely, after passenger closure in 1966 a single employee spent six months on duty at the crossing just past the station with not one chance to open it,〔''Hughie White'', quoted in Once upon a line (Vol 4) Britton,A: Oxford, OPC, 1994 ISBN 0-86093-513-2〕 although freight traffic continued to Medina Wharf for a few months after passenger trains were withdrawn.
