History

The station opened on 20 June 1838 by the Clarence Railway. The station was situated west of the level crossing near Station Road between Grange Farm and Low House Farm. There were two trains to Stockton via Ferryhill and Sedgefield that departed at 8:40am and 4:40pm. In the opposite direction trains arrived from Stockton at 8:30am and 4:35pm. The station was one of two to have served Coxhoe, the other being Coxhoe Bridge on the Great North of England, Clarence & Hartlepool Junction Railway, though the former CR station was located far closer to the town centre than that of the GNEC&HJR. The station closed to passengers on 1 April 1902 but the station remained open to goods traffic until 3 October 1966 when it ceased.^[2]
