Mindrum Railway Station (Carham)

Mindrum Station is located on the NER line from Alnwick to Cornhill. The station buildings on this line were built to the designs of William Bell in red sandstone. Somewhat extravagant design for a rural railway, they feature half-hipped dormers, cross gables, decorated barge boards and wrought iron finials. The buildings comprise the station proper, a goods shed and a terrace of two storey cottages. The station and cottages are in domestic use. The station yard is used as a scrap yard.
The traders of Alnwick persuaded the NER to propose a line 'in a neglected part of the territory' from Alnwick to Wooler and thence to Cornhill. The schemes came before Parliament in 1881 and 1882 and the line opened in 1887. Passenger services were never very profitable. Closed to passengers 22 September 1930 and to goods 29 March 1965. (1)
