History

Opened by the Blyth and Tyne (Wansbeck) Railway, which was taken over by the North British Railway, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed to the Eastern Region of British Railways upon nationalisation in 1948 and was closed in 1952 by British Railways.

The site today

The station house is now in private hands and has been extended, and the platform still exists. The trackbed of the old route can be followed West on foot, following the meandering River Wansbeck until it reaches a double arched stone bridge. A single solitary lineside telegraph pole can be seen along the route and the trackside fences have clearly been made using railway sleepers reclaimed once the line had shut.
