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.

 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!

A view of Sandsend railway station viewed from the west, looking towards the hill at the bottom of which is the road and present day protruding pedestrian walkway. Image courtesy of Maurice Grayson.  View of the station buildings, whilst dimly in the distance can be seen the outline of Boulby. Image courtesy of Maurice Grayson.  Over the viaduct into the station; on it’s way to Whitby.

I know it isn’t an old photograph but the trains are old so it qualifies. Russ Pigott comments: “It is an old postcard, dates back to the very early 1970s.” Image courtesy of Joyce Dobson, thanks to Russ Pigott for the update.  Yes I know this isn’t an old photograph, but it will be one day and you must admit it is beautiful and shows how the station has changed over the years. The floral display probably in support of Britain in Bloom, Saltburn having been a medal winner for several years. Image courtesy of Ray Brown.  This, I think, is when the Zetland Hotel was still a hotel and the lovely Victorian façade of the station, including the canopy was intact. Before expediency destroyed the excursion platform with its beautiful Victorian cupolas and when the station building was still a station building instead of a shopping arcade.

Looking towards the east at Saltburn Station, originally it was believed that the photograph dated from 1960; however Russ Pigott advised us: ”This picture is later than 1960 I would say about 1971-1973 The track into the trainshed was closed in 1970 and the sleepers are still present. Also the poster has a mark 2 Inter-City coach on it which were not introduced until 1966.” It was a lovely station as most of them were, what a pity such a lot of them were demolished.
