BEECHBURN STATION

  • Description

    ...Date opened: Probably February 1845 Location: At the end of Station Road and on the east side of Railway Street Company on opening: Bishop Auckland & Weardale Railway Date closed to passengers: 8.3.1965.... ....Beechburn's history cannot be separated from that of Howden with any certainty. The earliest record of a station at Howden is a Stockton & Darlington Railway minute of 14 February 1845, when it seems to have been regarded as a station, but without facilities; it appeared in the company timetable for September 1847 but not in Bradshaw and was closed by 20 December 1847 when plans for converting the waiting-room into a house were agreed.....
