St Helen's with its 232-foot-long (71 m) single platform was the only intermediate stop on the 2 34-mile (4.4 km) branch line that connected Brading to the coast at Bembridge. Opened in 1882, when the area was the Island's main port, it ran with ever dwindling passengers until 1953. Pomeroy described the station thus:

An imposing structure with tall chimneys and elegant dormers, particularly pleasing to the eye.
