Naworth Railway Station
Naworth is a former railway station, which served the hamlet of Naworth in Cumbria. The station served the Tyne Valley Line between 1871 and 1952.
History
The station opened in June 1871 by the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway. However, there are press references to a 'Naworth Gate' station as early as 1867, and it appears on the 1869 Ordnance Survey map so was evidently in operation earlier, possibly as a private station for Naworth Castle. It was closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 5 May 1952.
