Opened in 1838 by the Clarence Railway, later part of the North Eastern Railway, as the terminus of its line from Stockton, this tiny station closed to passengers in 1902 and completely in 1966. View north, towards a level crossing, the gates of which were still there when this image was taken but were hidden by shrubs. The wall at the back of (what was a very low) single platform is still there, beyond the fence on the left. The former goods shed, behind the camera position, was also still extant.
