As is often the case, Droxford Station on the long defunct Meon Valley Line was not in Droxford but in the adjoining hamlet of Brockbridge.

The Postbox
Droxford Station
Its only claim to fame is commemorated on a Plaque on the nearby postbox. This reads:
DROXFORD STATION
In a special train at this station, the
Rt.Hon. Sir Winston Churchill MP
then Prime Minister of the UK spent
some days making crucial decisions
with his staff prior to the
invasion of Europe on
D Day 6th June 1944
The station closed to passengers in 1955 and is now a private house.
