Grosmont railway station

Grosmont is a railway station on the Esk Valley Line, which runs between Middlesbrough and Whitby via Nunthorpe.

The station, situated 6 miles 24 chains (10.1 km) west of Whitby, serves the village of Grosmont, North Yorkshire, England.

In 1865, the station became a junction, following a deviation line on the route to Pickering, which was constructed in order to avoid the cable-worked incline at Beckhole.

Between 1900 and 1924, iron ore extraction resulted in the whole area under the station being mined, using the pillar and stall method.

The North Eastern Railway purchases the ironstone under the station house and the river bridge, and made preparations to deal with subsidence elsewhere.

In later years, these were used by the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to house volunteers, but were subsequently demolished in 1989, to allow extensions to the running shed and workshops.
