The original Cockermouth railway station was the eastern terminus of the Cockermouth & Workington Railway.[3] It served the town of Cockermouth, Cumbria, England.
History
The station opened on 28 April 1847. It closed on 2 January 1865, being replaced by the Cockermouth, Keswick and Penrith Railway station when the line was extended eastwards to Penrith using a different alignment.[4]
After closure to passengers the station remained in use as a goods station until 1964. The station area included an engine shed from the line's early days, this was converted for use as a goods shed after the station closed to passengers.[5]
