It was to the north of the city centre, at the northern end of the Wicker, in the fork formed by Spital Hill and Savile Street.
Carriages from Sheffield would be attached to North Midland trains for onward travel.
On 1 January 1847, a half-mile connecting line from the Wicker to the Bridgehouses station of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway had been constructed in order to increase goods traffic and enable wagon transfers.
This short steeply graded line, enclosed within a tunnel for almost its entire length was known locally as the Fiery Jack.
The site is currently occupied by a Tesco Extra supermarket, having previously contained car dealerships and was, until 2006 when the Spital Hill / Savile Street corner was remodelled as part of the Sheffield Northern Relief Road, the home of Amanda King's Made In Sheffield sculpture, now removed.
