History

The station opened in 1851 by the Blyth and Tyne Railway. The station was situated on the north side of the level crossing on St Michael's Avenue at the east end of New Hartley Village. The principal goods handled at the station were gravel and sand; this ceased in December 1963. The station closed to passengers on 2 November 1964.[1]
