Hutton Gate railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hutton Gate railway station was a train station on 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.

Originally, the station was exclusively for the use of the Pease family at the nearby Hutton Hall (the Pease family owned the major iron ore mines in the region at the time - the mines the line was designed to service). The station was purchased from the family by North Eastern Railway (NER) in 1904, and opened for public use.

Following its closure, the station still remains intact, though the trackbed has since been removed.
