Brotton
(1875 - 1960)
Brotton Station opened to freight traffic on February 23 1865 and to passengers on April 1 1875. It was provided with two platforms with a substantial range of brick buildings on the 'down' (Saltburn)
platform. It incorporated the stationmaster's house at the south end. There was a smaller brick-built waiting room and toilet on the 'down' platform
The goods yard was to the north of the station on the down side and included four sidings serving as coal drops and was closed in the 1970's. After closure to passengers on April 30 1960 Brotton remained open for goods traffic but was downgraded to a coal depot only on April 3 1967. The coal depot closed some time in the 1970's
Both platforms are extant and were cleared of undergrowth in late 2010. The track has been re-laid through the station close to the 'up' platform. The 'up' platform building has been demolished but the substantial range of 'down' platform buildings are extant and used as a workshop for tyre and exhaust fitting. The adjacent stationmaster's house is still used as a residence. The brick goods shed to the north of the station is also extant as are the degraded remains of the coal drops
