Not that one.

Clue 5: The station canopies, which were installed in 1960 to replace the previous overall roof, came from another station in the same county which due to changed circumstances after WWII never opened.

Correct.

To clarify clues 4 and 5. The signal box closed in December 2011 when the line was resignalled but was grade II listed before it could be demolished while the canopies came from the never opened Lullingstone station on the Maidstone East line.

Trivia. Until 2005 both Canterbury stations had semaphore signalling despite both being on electrified lines.

Your turn.
