History

About Шаблон:Convert north-west of Hexham, the station was built by the North British Railway (NBR) as an interim terminus for the Border Counties Railway. It opened on 1 December 1859, when a special train was run from Шаблон:Rws to mark the occasion, arriving at 11.38 a.m.[1][2] The station was situated on the south side of an unclassified road between Heugh and High Countess Park, the NBR providing a temporary platform with a run-around loop. It closed entirely on 1 February 1861, when the line was extended northwards to Шаблон:Rws and Reedsmouth station opened, about a mile from Countess Park.[3][4] The run-around loop was retained for some years in connection with the transport of sandstone from the nearby Mill Knock Quarry.[5]
