Opened in 1840 by the York & North Midland Railway on the line from York to Castleford, this station closed in 1904 when it was replaced by Monk Fryston station (a few hundred metres behind the camera position). It was known as "Milford Junction" until 1893. View north towards Sherburn-in-Elmet and York. The station was just beyond and to the right of the signal box, but all trace of it has apparently disappeared over the years as the area was used for sidings when this image was taken.
