History
The station opened with the Canterbury and Whitstable Railway on 3 May 1830. The South Eastern Railway took over the Canterbury and Whistable in 1844. The whole line was upgraded to allow full operation by locomotives and passenger services were diverted to Canterbury West in 1846.[1] North Lane station closed to freight in 1891.[2] The site of the station subsequently became a coal depot forming part of the goods yard of Canterbury West station.[3] Since closure of the coal depot the land was sold and is now covered by housing development.
