Opened as "Shincliffe" in 1839 by the Durham and Sunderland Railway, later part of the North Eastern Railway, this was the western passenger terminus of the line - about 3 miles from Durham. "Town" was added to the name in 1861 and the station closed in 1893 when the line was diverted from Sherburn House to Durham (Elvet) station. View east at the former forecourt. It is now a private residence.
