The Station cafe will be closed over Easter, closing from the 27th March 🐣🌷
Fabulous new mural delivered by @BatandBallTrain. Well worth a visit on a #DaysOutByRail adventure, where you can explore a @DarentValleyCRP #RailTrail before relaxing in the cafe.

The mural is complete! Take a look at Olga's reel on the makings of the mural📽 Credit to Olga for sticking it out in this British weather, it truly brings light and colour to the rather dull A225 Otford road 💚 facebook.com/reel/430624509…

We love anything train related... Although this object isn't directly related to Bat & Ball Station, #Sevenoaks Museum's object of the month is a wooden hand bell from LB&SCR. It would've potentially been used by the Station Master or the Signalman. #steamloco #history
Did you know Bat & Ball Station is part of @WeAreCyclingUK, that means we're part of a large network with lots of trails and routes just waiting for you to explore. We have bike friendly storage, a warm cafe, and an emergency repair kit! Get exploring! cyclinguk.org/journey-planner
The Station is a perfect space for workshops, meetings... or even filming! We're open to anybody looking for a space to hire, don't hesitate to call or send us an email. Visit our website for more info: batandballstation.com
The Station yesterday basking in the sun... fingers crossed the sun comes back! Our Station cafe is open from 7:30am - 3pm today, pop in for a visit or perhaps a cheeky #friyay fry up 😋 #sevenoaks #kent #Sunshinebymyside
Wow! The mural is almost complete and the sun has come out🌞 Take a look at the mural progress below or pop by the Station to see it yourself! #sevenoaks #kent #heritage #spring
Proud of our Cafe at the Station for getting 5* food hygiene rating! Well done to the team! If you haven't been to our cafe, don't hesitate! Delicious refreshments and a great fry up 🍴😋 ratings.food.gov.uk/business/11350… @SDC_newsdesk #sevenoaks
We're excited for spring and the first of many beautiful blooms to come 🌷🌿 If you'd like to help volunteer at the Station just in time for Spring, send an email to [email protected] or head to our website batandballstation.com

The recent wet weather hasn't stopped Olga... each day she's been adding pops of colour to the mural, it's coming along beautifully💚 Take a look at the most recent mural update today👇
Thank you to all who came to our #Suffragettes of #kent talk by local author @JennyGodfrey19 yesterday evening. It was incredibility insightful! We're sure to have her back again with her new book 'Secret Missions of the Suffragettes' 💜🤍💚 #WomensHistoryMonth #history
I had such an enjoyable evening tonight presenting about my book Suffragettes of Kent at @BatandBallTrain in a railway station! Thank you to Iona for organising & to all attendees. I loved meeting you and sharing some of the stories I’ve researched and written about.
It's #ThrowbackThursday Even though Bat & Ball Station was originally called Sevenoaks Station, it had to change it's name when the now current Sevenoaks Station (or Tubbs Hill Station) was built in 1868. There was a lot of name changing sparring... (1/2) #history #Tbt
Last chance❗ Tonight we have a talk about the Kent Suffragettes by @JennyGodfrey19 . You can get tickets on the door but best to get them in advance to reserve a seat👉 eventbrite.co.uk/e/all-aboard-h…

A little architectural gem in Hampstead. The neo-gothic old gatehouse to Branch Hill House. Built in 1868, it is attributed to the architect SS Teulon. Branch Hill House itself was built in 1741. In 1965 it was acquired by Camden council and recently converted into flats.
Congratulations to all the winners!
We have awarded a grant of £23,000 to @networkrail Wales and Western Region for restoration works to Grade II listed Dawlish Station. The station building was completed in 1875 to an Italianate design after the previous wooden building burned down in 1873.
Can anyone tell us where Henry Wicks is buried? He died in a rail accident on February 29 1892 between Gomshall & Chilworth. He was 52 years old and is commemorated trackside with this topiary, Jessie's Seat. We're looking for his grave which might be in Reading where he lived.
