Rowlands Gill railway station served the village of Rowlands Gill, Tyne and Wear, England from 1867 to 1963 on the Derwent Valley Railway.
History
The station was opened on 2 December 1867 by the North Eastern Railway. It was situated on the south side of Station Road. The goods traffic was timber, bricks and coal to Newcastle and iron ore to Consett. Due to passenger numbers failing to recover after the Second World War, the station was closed on 1 February 1954 to passengers[1] and closed completely along with the line on 11 November 1963.[2]
The station master's house is the only remaining building from the station.[3]
