There were dummy sites before d-day where false railheads were set up
- e.g. one just to the north of South Charford (between Breamore and
Downton) level crossing where my gram was crossing keeper.
Lullingstone station was built (but not opened) before WW2. During teh War a
dummy airfield was built near to it. After the War Green Belt legislation
meant that the housing the station was meant to serve never happened, so the
station never opened and was eventually demolished. I think the platform
canopies went to Canterbury East. However, Bill Hayles, formerly of this
parish, did manage to acquire a Lullingstone platform ticket.
