Kettleness Station with locomotive a Standard 2-6-4, Tank engine which is westbound to Loftus. Image courtesy Maurice Grayson.  Train departing Kettleness towards Whitby, the guard at the rear of the train appears to be waving his flag, for the driver to start away. Image courtesy Maurice Grayson.  A hand tinted postcard view of Hinderwell station, possibly dating from early 1900s, no details were to be gained from the reverse of this image, so the Archive would welcome dating information. Hinderwell as with Easington, Staithes, Kettleness and Sandsend stations, built to the same design. Possibly disconcerting to passengers alighting on a dark evening, especially if they had dozed on their journey and woken abruptly at their hoped for destination!

Chris Davies tells us:”The engine is a Raven/Gresley A8 4-6-2t hauling a train of ex-NER and a Thompson suburban brake of the LNER.” Francois Andre Greef advises: “I deduce from the way the river flows beneath the photographer that he was standing on the old trestle bridge at the Granary Yard, and not on the “Lower Bridge”, which rested on stone bulwarks. The old bridge was where the stepping stones are today.” Image courtesy Maurice Grayson, thanks to Chris Davies and Francois Andre Greef for the updates. |
