This fascinating selection of photographs traces some of the many ways in which Scarborough & Pickering Railway has changed and developed over the last century.
The Scarborough & Pickering Railway line was opened on 16 July 1885. Having first been mooted 1848, it arrived three years after the opening of the York-Scarborough line, which branched out at Rillington and joined the hitherto independent Whitby-Pickering line. The line, however, closed in 1965, a victim of ''The Beeching Axe'' and the Government''s plan to substantially cut running costs and reshape the British railway system, at a time when the country''s road network was growing rapidly. With its collection of 180 photographs, Scarborough & Pickering Railway Through Time brings the once busy days of the line back to life, when many thousands of holidaymakers would visit this part of the Yorkshire coast.
