Hinton railway station was a station on the Midland Railway between Tewkesbury and Evesham, England. It opened 1 October 1864 by the Midland Railway. The station served Hinton-on-the-Green in Worcestershire.
During World War II, the area surrounding the station was used as a military fuel dump and it was subject to at least one unsuccessful air attack. Following the station's closure in 1963,[2] the area was used by several companies for storage including the local Midlands Electricity Board who used it to store electrical mains equipment.
