History

Cliff railway station was opened 2 July 1840 in the village of Cliffe, Selby as an original station of the Hull and Selby Railway. [1] The station was renamed to Hemingbrough on 1 September 1874. [2]

The station had a small set of sidings north of the line, with an eastern line of track serving a malthouse. [3]
