Stockton railway station served the town of Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, England, from 1825 to 1848 on the Stockton and Darlington Railway.

History

The station in 1954

The station was formally opened on 27 September 1825 by the Stockton and Darlington Railway, although regular passenger services started on 10 October.[1] The services were initially horse drawn but steam services began on 7 September 1833. The station closed on 1 July 1848.[2][3]

The former booking office was Grade II listed in 1951. It was briefly used as a museum during the 150th anniversary of the railway in 1975. Subsequently it became a hostel run by a charity for homeless people.[4]
