I am not totally sure. A search of the internet suggests that Bat & Ball was named after a local inn. The station opened on 2 June 1862. However from memory (reading a book some years ago) I am pretty sure that when opened it was called 'Sevenoaks'....

'Sevenoaks (Tub's Hill)' was later opened when the South Eastern Railway (SER) built what is now the mainline through Sevenoaks to Tonbridge which opened on 2 March 1868. Since then I am sure there have been a number of name changes to form what is now 'Sevenoaks' and 'Bat & Ball'. Keith
