North Sunderland railway station was a brick built station on the single track branch of the North Sunderland Railway, in north east England. The line connected the village and port of Seahouses to the railway network via a junction at Chathill.

History

Authorised in 1892, the North Sunderland Railway was built privately to serve the newly constructed harbour at Seahouses. Construction started in 1896, and the line opened in 1898 for freight on 1 August and for passengers on 18 December. The line was rarely profitable, and thus the proposed station at Fleetham and the extension to Bamburgh were never constructed. The line was taken over by the LNER in 1939, and it closed on 27 October 1951 and officially wound up in April 1952.

The brick built platform still remains.
