Seahouses railway station was the brick and wood built eastern terminus of the
branch of the North Sunderland Railway, in north east England. The line connected village and port of Seahouses to the railway network via a junction at Chathill
.
History
Authorised in 1892 the North Sunderland Railway was built privately to serve the newly constructed harbour at
Fleetham, and the extension to Bamburgh were never constructed. The line was taken over by the LNER in 1939, and the line closed on 27 October 1951 and officially wound up in April 1952.[2]
The construction of the station provided a link to the fishing port and for day trips along the coast and to the Farne Islands.
The station was demolished and the site is now the village car park.
