Opened in 1850 by the South Yorkshire Railway, later part of the Manchester Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway, on the line from Penistone to Barnsley, this station closed to passengers in 1959 and was demolished. View north east towards Barnsley. When it was open, there were two tracks and two parallel curved platforms here. The main building would have been on the right of the image.
