Grangetown railway station served the township of Grangetown in the Borough of Redcar and Cleveland, North East England between 1885 and 1991 as a stop on the Tees Valley line.
The station opened as Eston Grange on 22 November 1885 by the North Eastern Railway. It was situated about 1 km from the current Grangetown. [1] The station's name was changed to Grangetown on 1 January 1902.
