"High Mill" station, Pickering (RLG @ 7mp approx.). 15 July 1973
NYMR set (ex Sc 50341 | 56099) + E50217 | 59042 | 50261)..

Luckily for the Trust the station - designed by George Hudson's friend and Y&NMR architect George Townsend Andrews - was a listed building."High Mill" station, Pickering (RLG @ 7mp approx.). 15 July 1973
