History
The station opened on 5 September 1887 by the North Eastern Railway. It was situated at the end of an approach road which was on the north side of an unnamed road. After closing to passengers on 22 September 1930, it was downgraded to a public delivery siding on 1 May 1950, before closing to goods on 2 March 1953. The goods shed and three cottages remain near the site of the station.[1]
gollark: Also, why does it always seem to return either 0 or something over 1000?
gollark: There's absolutely no situation in which I'd need that.
gollark: <@237328509234708481> You know the artist fuzzy search thing? What are you meant to do with that second return value (best starting position or whatever)?
gollark: Yes, which is decent and not just "yay I made a GUI".
gollark: I consider OSes decent if they do something other than just implement a new interface for launching programs and add a lock screen, and also are free of fake loading bars.
