Scalby railway station


Scalby railway station was a railway station on the Scarborough & Whitby Railway.

History

The station opened on 16 July 1885, and served the village of Scalby. It was situated immediately east of Scalby Viaduct and had a single platform, a goods bay, and another siding.
The station closed to regular traffic on 2 March 1953, the station building was then converted into a camping cottage. Two camping coaches were positioned here by the North Eastern Region from 1954 to 1956 and four coaches were here from 1957 until 1964. Occasional trains stopped for users of these facilities until final closure in 1964, Quick notes that two or three trains each way had definite calls in the working timetable of June 1961.
In 1974 the station was completely demolished, and a road called Chichester Close has been built on the site since. Some of the stonework has been reused in houses in this street.
