The railway that runs through Hook was built in 1839,but Hook only got its railway station in 1883 after a lengthy campaign by local landowners. It was built by London and South Western Railway in their typical style. It was built with two platforms and two tracks,but was expanded to four platforms and tracks in 1901-4 when the London to Basingstoke line was quadrupled. The middle island platform was removed around the 1960s.
In 1940,a bomb landed on the tracks a little way from the station. Worried it could damage the tracks,six soldiers were called to dispose of the bomb. Unfortunately,the bomb went off killing the six soldiers and injuring their sergeant. A group of local people have arranged to have a memorial plaque to them displayed in the station. [1] [2]
