Level Crossing, Scruton Station

Scruton Lane Station was originally opened by the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway on 6 March 1848 and later became known as Scruton Station. Used for goods, livestock and passengers, It was closed to passenger traffic by British Railways on 26 April 1954 with goods traffic continuing until 7 May 1956. It later fell into decay. Despite the station's closure, the line remained open for limestone traffic until 1992 after which it was taken over by the Wensleydale Railway which obtained a lease of the 22 miles from Northallerton to Redmire. By the time the Wensleydale Railway opened in 2003, Scruton station was in a dilapidated and overgrown state. Restoration works were undertaken with the support of Scruton Parish Council and a grant from the Railway Heritage Trust. The station was fully restored and reopened by the Wensleydale Railway Trust in 2015.

Memorial Clock, St Radegund's Church Tower

Scruton is a "Thankful Village" (also known as a "Blessed Village"), one of only 41 in the United Kingdom where all who served in the Great War 1914 - 1916 returned safely. At a time when communities throughout the country were erecting memorials to commemorate the fallen, Scruton raised money for a "Peace Memorial" as a symbol of its thankfulness. A memorial clock, made by Potts of Leeds, was installed on the church tower in 1921.
