Opened in 1856 by the Blyth & Tyne Railway, later part of the North Eastern Railway, this station was the terminus of the line from Newcastle via Backworth and Bedlington. It closed to passengers in 1880 when trains were transferred to the current Morpeth station, just out of view to the far left of this image (see also Image), but was still open for goods into the 1980s. The station buildings were then converted to private residential use. View east from the buffers towards Hepscott and Bedlington.
