Opened as "Cherry Tree Lane" in 1849 by the South Yorkshire Railway as the terminus of its line from Swinton, this station quickly became just "Cherry Tree" and closed to passengers in 1852 when trains were extended to the current Doncaster station. It remained open as "Cherrytree" goods station into the 1960s. View north east towards central Doncaster. The station was to the right of the road, behind the current fencing. Further to the right but out of shot is the Swinton-Doncaster railway line.
