(Broomehill Station, 9th of January 2003)
Openned : 1889
Original Name : Broomehill
Station Facts : The town of Broomehill was settled just prior to the openning of the Great Southern Railway (GSR), the town got it's name because
the Governor of WA at the time was Governor Broome, both him and he's wife turned the first sods at Albany and at Beverley (the ends of the GSR Line).
The town was originally spelt as Broome Hill, however when the GSR openned up it was printed on the Timetable Broomehill (one word), it wasn't until
1957 that the official spelling of the town was changed to Broomehill.
I don't know what the station building at Broomehill looked like, as it was demolished a little over 12 months ago, (I have been informed), but as you
can see in the photo above all that remains today is the platform, so I was a little too late!.
