Background
History
The station opened on 1 April 1858 by the Blyth and Tyne Railway. It was situated on the A1068 west of the level crossing. There were two sidings that entered from the west, they were located behind the platforms and they served as brick works. These were removed by 1922. The station was closed to passengers on 3 April 1950, although there was an excursion to and from Bellingham that ran on 22 September 1962. The station was closed to goods traffic on 9 March 1964.
