Parkgate and Rawmarsh railway station
- Parkgate and Rawmarsh railway station
Parkgate and Rawmarsh railway station was situated in Parkgate, adjacent to the Park Gate Iron and Steel Company's works. It served the communities of Parkgate and Rawmarsh, in South Yorkshire, England.
The station was situated on the former North Midland Railway between Kilnhurst West and Rotherham Masborough.
The station was closed, along with all the others on the line, except for Rotherham Masborough on 4th January 1968. The last ticket to be issued, as a souvenir, was lettered L.M.S.R., 20 years after that company's demise.
The station and the adjoining steel works, together with other locations in the Rotherham area, were featured in the 1958 made film "Tread Softly, Stranger" starring Diana Dors. Diana Dors's co-star George Baker (actor) is seen arriving at platform 1 of "Rawborough" station.
