History
The station opened on 3 May 1847 by the Blyth and Tyne Railway. The station was situated south of St Michael's Avenue at the east end of New Hartley's built-up area. This was a very short-lived station; it was only open for four years, closing in 1851.[1] The site of the station was where the Hartley Colliery Disaster occurred on 16 January 1862.[2]
