Jessie Road Bridge Halt[2] was an intermediate station situated on the Southsea Railway[3] between Fratton[4] and Albert Road Bridge Halt (sometimes called Highland Road[5]).
Opened in 1904 and closed a decade later it was part of a concerted effort to boost revenue and thus see off competition from the burgeoning tramway network[6]. The station's only platform was on the down line, the up line being out of use.[7] The final nail in the line's coffin was a government directive issued shortly after the declaration of war[8] that railways unable to support themselves would cease operations at the earliest opportunity; and, as the line clearly fell into this category, the last train ran early in August 1914[9].
