Castle Howard railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Castle Howard railway station was a minor railway station serving the village of Welburn and the stately home at Castle Howard on the York to Scarborough Line and was opened on 5 July 1845 by the York and North Midland Railway. It closed on 22 September 1930.
The station was often used by the aristocracy, notably Queen Victoria when she was visiting Castle Howard in 1850. A road was built from the station to the stately home. Parts of this road (and the associated columns) can still be seen to the North side of Whitwell-on-the-Hill[citation needed].
