Little Mill Junction was a station on the former Coleford, Monmouth, Usk and Pontypool Railway.

History

The station was built in 1856 during the construction of the line to serve the village of Little Mill, Monmouthshire. It was closed in 1955 following the withdrawal of passenger services on the line.[1] It was located on the junction of the line with the Welsh Marches Line, 16 miles and 12 chains from Monmouth Troy. The station consisted of platforms on both lines, sidings and a station building, although the platforms on the mainline were taken out of use before the station's closure. The station building was demolished, but the signal box and junction remain intact.[2]
