Shide railway station, was an intermediate station at Shide on the southern fringes of Newport situated near Shide Chalk Pits on the line from Newport to Sandown incorporated by the Isle of Wight (Newport Junction) Railway in 1868, opened in 1875 and closed 81 years later. A sparsely used station whose main purpose was to transport raw materials needed for the Island’s cement industry, it was doomed when production ceased during the Second World War. The station was built over and the site is now occupied by a warehouse.
