Bentworth and Lasham railway station was a railway station which served the villages of Bentworth and Lasham in Hampshire, England and was located centrally between these two villages. The station was a stop on the Basingstoke and Alton Light Railway until its closure in 1932. Remarkably, the corrugated-iron platform shelter survived in situ until its demolition in 2003. When built, a wind engine was provided to supply the station buildings and cottages. It was made by John Wallis Titt.[2]
