Summary[edit]

Description
English: Ifield railway station (1). The London Brighton & South Coast Railway opened their line to Horsham through here in 1848, but the station was not built until 1907. When it was opened it was briefly known as Lyons Crossing Halt, presumably after the Lion's Farm just to the south, becoming Ifield Halt later that year. After a brief closure at the end of the First World War it reopened in 1920 and became just Ifield in 1930.

There used to be a level crossing here, at the foot of the platform ramp, connecting what is now Ifield Drive, to the north and left, and what is now Craigans to the south and right. The Craigan was the name of a house next to Lion's Farm.

For a view of the station in the opposite direction please see 1750652.
