Guisborough railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Guisborough railway station was the terminus of the Middlesbrough and Guisborough Railway. It was opened on 25 February 1854 and closed, along with the entire Nunthorpe-Guisborough branch on 2 March 1964. It served the town of Guisborough.

The platform was located inside a station building with a glass ceiling. After its closure, the station was lost to redevelopment works in 1967.

Because the station was at the end of a branch, trains had to reverse out of the terminal before continuing along the NER line (the former eastern part of the Cleveland Railway) to Loftus, or to Saltburn (from 1878 to 1917 on the Priestcroft Curve or via Brotton).
