High Stoop railway station also known as High Souk was a railway station that served the village of High Stoop, County Durham, England. It was located on the Bishop Auckland and Weardale Railway line from Bishop Auckland to Blackhill between Wear Valley Junction and Tow Law.[1]
History
The station was opened by the Stockton & Darlington Railway in 1851 on their line between Bishop Auckland and Blackhill. It was located in a rural area of Weardale. The station closed to passengers in 1881 before closing to all traffic between Tow Law and Blackhill. The disused railway line was later in use between Saltersgate Cottage and Burnhill for the Salters Gate Ammunition Depot opened by military traffic to access the transfer yard in both directions between Saltersgate Cottage and Burnhill via Burnhill Junction until 1956 when the line was closed. Today, the trackbed and original cottages near the station are now in private ownership.[2]
