Modern Car Showrooms on the site of Wicker Station. This station was built as the terminus for the Sheffield to Rotherham Railway built in 1838 (Hey 1998). It was Sheffield's first Railway Station. It is shown as a goods only depot by 1954 and disconnected from the rail system by 1987. The Sheffield to Rotherham railway provided much of the stimulus for speculative development of the Lower Don Valley by the large steel firms of the later 19th century.
