It opened on 4 April 1885 just to the north of Warren Hill Tunnel[1] and catered for racecourse-goers arriving from points north, particularly Lincoln, Leeds and Manchester, with the encouragement of the Jockey Club.[2] Warren Hill was closed by the London and North Eastern Railway some time in or after 1945[1] but before 1 January 1948, when British Railways was formed.
