Opened in 1876 by the Manchester Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway on the Blackburn Valley line from Sheffield Victoria to Barnsley (Stairfoot), this station closed to passengers in 1953 and completely in 1954. View north towards Chapeltown (Central) and Barnsley from the former track-bed. Brickwork for the former Sheffield-bound platform is extant in the undergrowth to the right. The area was derelict when this image was taken.
