Site of Strood's first station, 1845 to 1856. This was the terminus of the line from Gravesend which the South Eastern Railway (SER) took over in 1846. The SER filled in the waterway through the canal tunnel to widen the single line to double. The station was named 'Rochester' to 1849, 'Strood, Rochester and Chatham' to 1852 and then just 'Strood' until 1856 when it was replaced by the new Strood station that linked the North Kent Line from Gravesend with the Medway Valley Line to Maidstone.
