The station opened on 1 March 1837 by the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway. It was originally the eastern terminus until Newcastle (Shot Tower) opened in 1839. To the west was a mineral line that carried passengers. There were two goods yard next to each other near a quay. There was also a locomotive shed that held up to two engines. Goods traffic ceased in 1853 and the station closed in May 1854.[1]
