Parkgate and Rawmarsh railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 (South Yorkshire) and Rawmarsh.

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. She is seen arriving at platform 1 of "Rawborough" station.
