Thefareham to Gosport Railway was opened in 1841. The military road connecting the forts of the Gosport Advanced Lines crossed the railway line close to Fort Rowner and the nearby Garrison Church. From 1865 Brockhurst Station was opened to serve these forts. From 1893 this was renamed Fort Brockhurst Station as it was easily confused with Brockenhurst Station in the New Forest. From 1863 a service ran to Stokes Bay pier at Stokes Bay via the Gosport terminus and from 1894 a branch line running a shuttle service ran from Brockhurst to Lee-on-the-Solent, following the line of the military road as far as Privett Halt, halfway between Forts Grange and Gomer, before turning west across Browndown towards Lee. Privett Halt was renamed as Gomer Halt in October 1909.
At Fort Brockhurst Station a siding was added by 1898 on the west side of Military road to serve the nearby fort. Geocache is Along a cycle/walkers track, Where the old railway line used to be..This place can be a high muddle area with walkers/ cyclists and dog walkers.
