Background
History
The station was opened on 10 February 1841 as a stop on the Stockton and Hartlepool Railway, originally a branch line linking West Hartlepool to main line of the Clarence Railway near . Under the direction of the North Eastern Railway, a successor to the S&HR, a new line was constructed at Hartlepool in 1877 to provide a direct connection to the former Hartlepool Dock & Railway network operating northwards from the town, The disused station platforms remain at the site, but all the station buildings have been demolished except the signal box. It has been decommissioned and was due to be demolished in October 2020, but was still standing in January 2025.
