Opened in 1913 by the Derwent Valley Light Railway on the line from York (Layerthorpe) to Cliffe Common, this station closed to passengers in 1926 and completely in 1972. View north towards Dunnington and York. The single line crossed the road by a level crossing to the left of the image, the platform and single storey station building were across the road, just beyond the wall. No trace apparently remains.
