Nawton railway station was a minor station serving the village of Nawton, North Yorkshire, England on the former Gilling and Pickering (G&P) line[2] opened in 1874, until 1964, although the regular passenger service (and the track east from Kirbymoorside to Pickering) ceased in 1953.[3]
Following closure, the former buildings served as, amongst other things, the local fish and chip shop (in the weigh-bridge office!), the blacksmiths and, more recently, the post office. Now known as Station House it is an attractive private residence.[4]
This line followed today's main A170 road corridor between Helmsley and Pickering.
