History
The station was opened on 1 July 1847 by the Newcastle and Berwick Railway. The station was situated 400 yards along a track that ran north from the A1068. The station was very short-lived and closed after 3 years, closing on 1 October 1850, due to the opening of Bilton station. The site was converted into two houses for railway workers.[1]
