Catcliffe railway station

Catcliffe railway station

Catcliffe railway station was located on the Sheffield District Railway, just over 1 mile north of its junction with the North Midland Railway line at Treeton Junction. It served the village of Catcliffe, near Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England.

The line was carried on a 9 arch brick-built viaduct over the Rother Valley and the station was constructed at the northern end of this, near to the village. The station was noted for its bleak and isolated location which earned it the name "Klondyke" from the local population. The station was opened on 30 April 1900 and closed on 11 September 1939.
