Background
History
The station opened on 1 February 1894 by the North Eastern Railway. The signal box was to the south and to the east was a goods shed with four sidings and a loading bank. Passenger numbers started to decline in the 1920s when bus services were introduced. This led to the station closing on 21 September 1953. It remained open to goods until 2 August 1960. The station itself was demolished but the signal box remained until 1982. After it was demolished, the signal box from was dismantled and installed at the nearby Beamish Museum.
