History
The original station was built on the west side of Minley Road and was opened in May 1847, where it was named Fleetpond due to its close proximity with the pond, this was a major attraction for London travellers.
In July 1869 the station was officially renamed Fleet Street although local residents still used the "Fleet Pond" identify for some years to come.
In 1904 a new larger station was built where the line was increased to four tracks.
