DescriptionSite of Wellfield Railway Station 1, 17-06-2020.jpg
English: View Northwest through Wellfield Road Bridge over the Hart-Haswell Walkway towards the site of Wellfield Railway Station.
The station booking office was located on the far side of the bridge, where the abutments are now exposed above (the bridge having been widened to enable the road and booking office to both sit on top); the station platforms extended along either side of the whole visible length of path beyond the bridge abutments, each having had a wooden waiting shelter. The station opened in 1882 to allow interchange between the North Eastern Railway's then newly opened Castle Eden Railway from Redmarshall and the route of the Hartlepool Dock & Railway Co. line of 1835 from Hartlepool; the latter was later incorporated into the NER's inland West Hartlepool to Sunderland via Haswell Line. Stopping Castle Eden Railway services ceased in 1931 but the station remained open until 1952 (it had never been served by goods trains) and a single line through it was retained until around 1984.
