History
The line was one of the fruits of the rapid industrialisation of West Cumberland in the second half of the nineteenth century.
The station opened to passengers with the line from Moor Row to Rowrah on 12 February 1864.
The section of line through the station suffered subsidence problems so severe that the company built a deviation line to an alignment curving sharply and steeply to the west, including a new passenger station - Yeathouse. When the deviation and new station opened on 11 June 1872 the old alignment was severed north of Eskett station, which was converted to a goods depot. It remained as such until final closure in 1931.
The deviation made the line even more difficult to work for the rest of its existence.Шаблон:Sfn
