The Station, Station Lane, Seaton Carew, Hartlepool opened in 1871 and closed in 2010. A supermarket is now on the site.
The Station Hotel was built in about 1872 at the side of the footpath which led to the village. It was to serve those arriving and departing by train. When first built it was said that it was 'A modern built building with a fashionable portico entrance, but rather built before its time'. By 2005, when this photo was taken, it was becoming harder for publicans to make a living and many pubs and hotels such as this were doomed.
In August 1874 the Hotel was advertised for sale by the owner Mr M Bell. In February of 1876 the owner was George Alderson who was advertising the Hotel for sale. At that time it was occupied by Mr WH Clough who would have been the tenant. The landlord in 1878 was Mark Bolton, 1879 John Waites. In August of 1881 the license was transferred from Christopher Waite to John Armstrong.
