History
The station was opened as Cockfield on 1 August 1863 by the North Eastern Railway on the route the SD&LUR, one of its predecessors. The suffix Fell was later added to the station's name on 1 July 1923[1] to avoid confusion with another London and North Eastern Railway station in Suffolk of the same name.[2] It closed to passengers on 15 September 1958 and to goods traffic on 18 June 1962.[3]
