Opened in 1835 by the Clarence Railway from Stockton to Coxhoe, the York Newcastle and Berwick Railway also opened through here in 1844. Both later became part of the North Eastern Railway. View north towards Croxdale and Newcastle, also formerly Coxhoe. The original station(s) was/were to the left of the current lines, near the still extant goods shed. A new station was built in the centre of the image in 1876, which continued behind the camera position. It closed to passengers in 1967.
