Britain By Car - A Motoring History

Micheldever Station

About two miles north of Micheldever, Micheldever Station is a village in its own right.  It developed after the station (originally called Andover Road) was built on the Waterloo - Southampton railway line in 1840.  The station was, however, re-named Micheldever in 1856.
