The station in 1954

The station was formally opened on 27 September 1825 by the Stockton and Darlington Railway, although regular passenger services started on 10 October. ^[1] The services were initially horse drawn but steam services began on 7 September 1833. The station closed on 1 July 1848. ^{[2] [3]}

The former booking office was Grade II listed in 1951. It was briefly used as a museum during the 150th anniversary of the railway in 1975. Subsequently it became a hostel run by a charity for homeless people. ^[4]
