Huttons Ambo railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Huttons Ambo railway station was a minor railway station serving the twin villages of High Hutton and Low Hutton, and the village of Menethorpe, on the York to Scarborough Line. The station was opened on 5 July 1845 by the York and North Midland Railway. It closed on 22 September 1930. The station was originally just named Hutton, but was renamed Huttons Ambo on 1 February 1885.

At one time, mathematician Karl Pearson's grandfather was stationmaster here, and John Cariss was porter.

In 1913, legislation was passed for a narrow gauge railway to Burythorpe, but this was never implemented.
