Tickhill and Wadsworth station

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Can anyone assist with any historical details of the bacterial outbreak (said to be caused by horse faeces) which led to the closure of this station on the South Yorkshire Joint Railway in 1929.

It sounds a most unusual reason for a station closure in Britain.
