The open space is near, but unfortunately not quite where, the terminus of the ex-NER branch from Chevington was situated. Actually, tracks passed the station to reach the Docks. Regular passenger services ceased from 7/7/30, but excursions came until 1939, while coal traffic to the staithes kept the branch in operation until 6/10/69.
