History

It opened on 9 October 1871, [1] and the regular passenger service ceased on 2 February 1953, although goods traffic and special passenger trains ran until the line closed completely on 10 August 1964. [2]

The station building is now a private house and can still be seen from the Nunnington to Oswaldkirk back road, just before the cutting at Caulkeys Bank.
