Hexham station. On 9th March 1835, Hexham Station was opened by the Newcastle & Carlisle Railway, which became part of the North Eastern Railway in 1862. The original station was probably designed by the architect Benjamin Green of Newcastle upon Tyne. It was altered and extended between 1835 and 1871 and again by 1901. Listed Grade II and standing in a Conservation Area, the present station was restored in 1998/1999.
