Sunilaws railway station

The station opened as Wark in July 1859 by the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway. It was situated on a minor lane to the south of a junction on the B6350. Despite its name upon opening, the village of Wark on Tyne was situated almost a mile north, while the station was located in Carham. Its name was changed to Sunilaws on 1 October 1871, which was the name of a nearby farm but was spelled as 'Sunnylaws' until 1924, when it adopted the station's spelling. The signal box opened in 1880 but it was replaced in 1901 and it was locater between the timber shelter on the down platform and the level crossing. On the up side of the line was a coal yard and opposite was the level crossing was a siding, which served a loading bank. The station closed to passengers on 4 July 1955 and to goods traffic on 29 March 1965.[1] The loading bank and the platforms still remain.[2]
