Opened in 1851 As "Ardsley" by the South Yorkshire Railway, later part of the Manchester Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway, on the line from Doncaster to Barnsley. The station was renamed "Stairfoot" in 1870 but then closed a little over a year later when it was replaced by another, immediately behind the camera position. View south east along the track-bed towards Wombwell Central and Doncaster. No trace of the station now remains and it is a public footpath.
