Blackhall Rocks railway station

Blackhall Rocks was one of two railway stations to have served the Blackhalls in County Durham, North East England, and was a stop on the Durham Coast Line.

[2] This line was built, primarily, to avoid the steep gradients of the older inland route at Ryhope and Hesleden Banks[3] but also provided access to the newly developing collieries of the Durham Coast.

[1] This meant that the village that developed to serve the colliery was left some distance from their nearest railway station.

[5] The NER became part of the London and North Eastern Railway as part of the 1923 grouping[3] and, on 24 July 1936, that company opened an additional station,[1] approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) to the north, to serve the colliery village.
