Background

History

The first station opened was as Sherburn in 1837 by the Durham & Sunderland Railway. It served as the temporary terminus of their line from Sunderland Town Moor until the line reached its intended terminus at Shincliffe Town station in Shincliffe on 28 June 1839. The station was renamed Sherburn House on 1 April to avoid confusion with another Sherburn station which was renamed on the same day. The station was still used for one day a year (except the war years) until 11 January 1954, when the station closed to all traffic.
