Shotton Bridge railway station was a railway station built by the North Eastern Railway (NER) on the route of the Hartlepool Dock and Railway (HD&R) as part of a programme of works to modernise that line and link it with the Durham and Sunderland Railway (D&SR) so as to create a railway through-rout
e between West Hartlepool and Sunderland. On opening, the station served the relatively new village of Shotton Colliery, which grew around the nearby Shotton Grange Colliery, as well as Old Shotton on the Stockton to Sunderland turnpike road, further to the east.
