The Old Railway Station

The Old Railway Station is a former railway station that also served as the station-master's house, built in 1844 by G. T. Andrews for the North Eastern Railway Company. The building features a dressed sandstone front and returns, with engineering brick at the rear, and is topped with a Welsh slate roof and dressed stone chimney stacks. It is two storeys high and has three bays, characterized by a tall plinth and a first-floor sill band.

The central entrance consists of an 8-panel double door with a radial fanlight, set within a projecting enclosed porch that has flush voussoirs to the doorway arch, an impost string, a cornice, and a blocking course. There is a later doorway added to the left side. The windows are primarily 12-pane sashes with projecting sills, except for a 16-pane sash in an enlarged opening to the left of the porch; the ground-floor windows are set in recessed panels. The low-pitched roof has overhanging eaves with exposed rafters and verges with exposed purlins, and there are two stepped corniced stacks that rise through the rear pitch of the roof.

The one-bay returns have similar window styles and sill bands. At the rear, there is a two-storey lean-to with an additional lean-to porch on the right, and a one-storey gabled wing on the left, all designed in a similar style. The station was closed in 1893 and is noted as a rare complete survival of a small station by Andrews, who is better known for larger stations like Scarborough and Hull Paragon.
