Thorne (Old) railway station (site), Yorkshire
Image: © Nigel Thompson Taken: 30 Jul 2019
Opened in 1859 on the South Yorkshire Railway's extension from Doncaster via Thorne Lock to Keadby, this station on Orchard Street replaced the short-lived one at Thorn Lock. In turn, it closed in 1866 when it was replaced by Thorne South station on a much straighter railway alignment. View west towards Thorn Lock. From old maps, the station site is probably somewhere near the modern houses. No trace of a railway at this location now exists.
