Kirby railway station
Kirby railway station was a railway station on the York and North Midland Railway's branch line to Pickering. It opened in October 1845, and was named after the village of Kirby Misperton. It closed on 1 October 1858.
Some authorities refer to this station as 'Black Bull or Kirby'; Black Bull being a reference to the public house, which also gave its name to the nearby level crossing on the Pickering - Malton road.
The station house, which still stands, was built in stone which was unusual for minor stations which were more commonly built in brick. Indeed, the Y&NM crossing keepers house at the adjacent crossing was in brick.
The NER built a short terrace of four houses between the station building and Black Bull level crossing for platelayers and labourers.
