View SW, to the end of the line, which had until 1865 been the upper end of an incline worked by horses from the Grosmont - Pickering section of the 1836 Whitby & Pickering Railway. In 1865 the NER built a four-mile deviation from Grosmont to replace this incline, but the stub, running to a proper station 'Beckhole', 200 yards further back (off this view), to which a passenger service was run in summer only, 1908-1914; goods was worked until 7/30, when floods demolished a bridge, although they continued for a short distance from Grosmont Branch Junction until 1952.
