Station description
The site presumably closed pre June 1944 as it does not appear on the Jones Map.
Beatrice Temple diary reports she visited Sevenoaks on Friday 2 Jan 1942 and had "a vain hunt for ATS who have moved to Tunbridge Wells". She visited again 27 July 1942. On 16 June 1943 she has a long talk with Wendy at Sevenoaks and Nov 24 1943 she had lunch with Wendy and Mr Oakley at Sevenoaks. It is thought to have been in a derelict building around the Cinema.
Roy Russell is the only one to mention an In Station at Brasted which is near to Sevenoaks. As yet nothing is known about this possible site.
