History
The station first opened on 6 March 1850 but it wasn't open to passengers. The earliest evidence of passenger use was on 11 May 1858, but only for those attending the Goswick farm sale. It was included in the Newcastle Journal as Windmill Hill on 6 January 1853 but only excursion trains stopped here. Regular passenger service began in November 1870.[1]
The station's name was changed to Goswick on 1 January 1898.
The station closed to passengers on 15 September 1958,[1] and completely on 10 August 1964 after the last goods service on 10 April 1964 had stopped.[6][7][2]
