History
editThe station was opened as Stoke Road on 1 June 1865 by the Stokes Bay Railway and Pier Company. It was situated on the south side of Pier Road. The platforms were initially low, both of them having a waiting shelter. On the up platform was the ticket office. The station and platforms were rebuilt in 1885, both of them now being a standard height. The station's name was changed to Gosport Road on 8 November 1866 and changed again to Gosport Road and Alverstoke in October 1893. It closed on 1 November 1915.[1] The station buildings were converted to housing for the station guard.[2] The station was demolished in the 1930s and the site is now partly occupied by housing and a road.
