History
The first station opened was as Sherburn in 1837 by the
Shincliffe Town station in Shincliffe on 28 June 1839. The station was renamed Sherburn House on 1 April to avoid confusion with another Sherburn station which was renamed Sherburn Colliery on the same day.[1]
On 24 July 1893, the
Durham Elvet which was much closer to Durham City than the original D&SR terminus in Shincliffe and as a consequence the line to Shincliffe Town was closed. At the same time as the opening of the line to Durham Elvet, the original station at Sherburn House was replaced by a new station on the Elvet branch. The second station was situated on the west side of the A181. The passenger service to Elvet was unsuccessful, thus regular passenger services were withdrawn on 1 January 1931.[2] The station was still used for one day a year (except the war years) until 11 January 1954, when the station closed to all traffic.[1]
