History
The station opened on 1 July 1909 by the North Eastern Railway. The station was situated at the end of a track running from Derwent Crescent. The platforms were made of timber and it was on a hill above the village. The station was the first on the line to close; it closed on 4 May 1942 to both passengers and goods traffic while the other stations survived.[1][2]
