History
It was opened on 1 January 1874.[2] The regular passenger service (and the track east to Pickering) ceased in 1953 but freight traffic and occasional special passenger trains continued until 1964.
The station was host to a LNER camping coach from 1935 to 1939 and possibly one for some of 1934.[3]
After closure the railway station building was used for industrial purposes, but was demolished between April/May 2010 in favour of a new housing development.[4]
