Norham is relatively large for a rural station with a number of stone and wooden buildings each with it's own specific purpose with additions and alterations from the original structures built during the 1850's carried out to cope with the increase in demand.
As a result of the station's importance, operating as a goods yard and distribution centre, there was by necessity a number of track spurs to loading and unloading locations.
Since the tracks were all removed shortly after the line's closure in 1965, the only evidence remaining of their existence are the
passenger and cargo platforms.
Luckily through researching the few historical books and photgraphs made available to us,
we have been able to build a reasonably clear view of the station complex that will help you understand the complete layout.
The track plan is based on Norham Station circa 1960 and is NOT to Scale.
