History:
Station House was built in the 1830s as part of the Newcastle to Carlisle line with the stone brought in by rail. There used to be a passenger station at Low Row until the 1960s, as well as a siding for taking away livestock and servicing the historical pie factory (now Carrick’s Court). The stationmaster lived upstairs, the downstairs was used as a ticket office and waiting room. The slotted windows allowed a view up and down the track. Many features are still intact or have been preserved. On reroofing, each copper nail was embossed with N.E.R. – North-Eastern Railway.
Lamp Cabin
This workshop area also dates to when the property was used by British Rail. It was used as a work cabin and to store the paraffin oil as well as store, clean, and refill all the numerous lamps used on the station, crossing gates, as well as the red 'tail lamps’ at the rear of each train.
