This village of two halves
was largely created to house the men who
worked on the Whitby to Pickering railway in
the mid-19th century. Although it was closed
in the 1960s during the Beeching era, a band
of enthusiasts revived it and transformed it
into the private, steam-powered North York
Moors Railway.
The line still cuts through the village and
the station has been given some lovely
historical touches. There is also access to
the engine sheds. The line is connected here
to the Esk Valley railway which takes
passengers to Whitby and Middlesbrough. |
