Opened in 1904 by the North Eastern Railway on its line from Stockton to Sunderland, this station closed in 1964 and was subsequently demolished. It had never had a frequent service, being aimed mainly at tourists, services in the early years were concentrated on just two days per week. View south east towards Hart and Stockton. The two parallel platforms were in the centre of the image with a small building being located where the "box" to the right of the track now is. Image taken through the track-side fencing.
