Grimethorpe Halt

Grimethorpe Halt was a small railway station on the Dearne Valley Railway (DVR) situated between Great Houghton Halt and Ryhill Halt. It served the village of Grimethorpe, South Yorkshire, England.

The station was opened on 3 June 1912, and closed on 10 September 1951. Originally, trains were operated on behalf of the DVR by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway; when that company amalgamated with the London and North Western Railway on 1 January 1922, the combined organisation (also known as the London and North Western Railway) absorbed the DVR on the same day.
