Opened in 1912 by the Derwent Valley Light Railway, this station closed to passengers in 1926 and completely in 1987. View north west along the former trackbed towards the junction with the freight-only Foss Island branch. The station building was just beyond the end of the large grey building on the right. The whole area has been redeveloped and no trace remains, except for this public footpath following the course of the line.
