5. Railway scenes - Pickering Station and goods shed! See also page 9 for steam railway trip to Grosmont.
Pickering station is the southern terminus of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (restored to 1937 heritage status condition!). From it you can travel for 18 miles to Goathland through the most beautiful scenic moorland country and even on into Whitby. A must for any tourist-visitor staying in the area. At the time of the photograph (Feb. 2007) there was much painting of the station and cleaning up the carriages ready for the visiting tourists. The puffs of smoke will be seen from March 11th.
South of Pickering station is one of the old goods sheds which has been converted to a hair salon! The LNER built in style, not realising the future use of these solid stone buildings. The line used to run south to Malton to join the Scarborough - York railway line.
