Kirkbride railway station

Kirkbride was a stone and brick built railway station with a single platform on the Carlisle and Silloth Bay Railway on the Solway Plain in Cumbria.

The station opened by the Carlisle and Silloth Bay Railway in August 1856 with the line's extension to Silloth. The North British Railway in leased the line and the station in 1862 and subsequently took it over in 1880. With consolidation in 1922 the station became part of the London and North Eastern Railway and became part of British Railways after nationalisation in 1948 closed with the line on 7 September, 1964.

The platform has been demolished, but the station house still exists as a private residence^[1]
