Opened in 1858 by the North Eastern Railway on the line from Sunderland to Hartlepool, this station replaced an earlier terminus station nearby. In turn, this station closed in 1952 and the site was redeveloped. View south east from the former level crossing along the track-bed, which crossed the road diagonally. The station's two platforms started immediately on the other side of the road, with the main station building standing roughly where the modern house on the right now stands. No trace now remains.
