Now a private house. The station opened in 1854, originally on the Port Carlisle Railway http://www.cumbria-railways.co.uk/port-carlisle-railway.html . In 1856, the section of line Burgh was on was taken over by the new Carlisle & Silloth Bay Railway http://www.cumbria-railways.co.uk/carlisle_silloth_bay_railway.html . The route closed in 1964. The distinctive gabled roof of this building can be seen on a photo taken in 1961 Image . An inscription around the triangular window says 'AD 1891 CHAs. BOYD C.E.'.
