Moor End goods station
Moor End goods station was a railway station in South Yorkshire, England. It was situated at the end of the Worsborough branch line which ran from the main line of the South Yorkshire Railway at Wombwell. The lower part of the line, to Worsborough was opened in June 1850, reaching Moor End two years later, in March 1852.
Like many other lines in South Yorkshire the main reason for this line was the transportation of coal, and several collieries were situated along the line. Some opened before the line was built, some were constructed afterwards. Around the lower part of the line and opened prior to 1864 was Bell Ing, Edmund's Main and Martin's Main collieries at Worsborough. Further along the line were collieries at Silkstone Common, including the ill-fated Huskar Pit, where a disaster occurred in 1838 in which 26 children died.
Later, in 1880, after the South Yorkshire Railway had joined with the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, the line was extended, not from its terminus but from a junction a short distance before it was reached, Moor End goods being then on a short spur. The line was then able to reach Wentworth Silkstone Junction on the Barnsley to Penistone line and form the infamous "Worsborough Bank".
