Fontburn Halt was a weatherboard and corrugated-iron-built railway station in Northumberland, England, on the Rothbury Branch, built to serve the pre-existing Whitehouse lime works[1] and later the Whitehouse Colliery, and quarries.
History
In 1859 Parliament authorised the Wansbeck Railway Company to build the line from Шаблон:Stnlnk to Шаблон:Stnlnk. In 1862 the line from Шаблон:Stnlnk to Шаблон:Stnlnk opened.
The next year the Northumberland Central Railway were authorised to construct a line from Шаблон:Stnlnk to Ford on the Berwick to Kelso line. They were also permitted to build a short branch line to Cornhill. Due to financial difficulties the line was to be built in stages[2] starting with the section from Шаблон:Stnlnk to Шаблон:Stnlnk which was started in August 1869 and completed by November 1870. The North British Railway and the branch line became part of the London and North Eastern Railway in 1923. In September 1952 passenger services were withdrawn and the line closed in November 1963.[3]
Constructed to serve Whitehouse lime works, the station later had a number of sidings serving various other local industries including the construction of the nearby Fontburn reservoir.[4]
