Site Description
Nothing remains of the original station which was located between the 181/2 mile post and the road overbridge to the west of it, the latter the location of a new, single patformed station opened in 1998 on the Down side. The original station closed in 1848, due to its presence on a 1 in 100 gradient which the locomotives of the day found difficult to start off from and was replaced by that some 3/4 miles distant.Photographs
